[EBB Sightings] Two Cooper's Hawks at Lake Merritt

Lakeside Park, anyway, between the Garden Center and the restroom block 
across from the bowling greens. This morning's GGAS 4th-Wednesday walk 
watched a party of crows chasing an adult Cooper's Hawk around (and 
sometimes getting chased back), then a couple of minutes later a 
juvenile Cooper's Hawk flew in and around the Dawn Redwood on the lawn 
there.

This was our first sight of a juvie in two years, since the tree the 
pair used for several years got so sparse of needles. Maybe they found 
another tree that the human contingent hasn't spotted yet....

Lotsa Brown Pelicans on the lake, and one very early Greater Scaup.
