    Though it is not the first report of the fall, it was nice to return from a 
    1-1/2 hour bike ride and have some Cedar Waxwings in the trees just down the 
    block from our house.  We live just north of Heather Farm Park in Walnut 
    Creek.
    
    An hour or so later, I watched a neighbor, Tim, walk with his guide dog 
    along the sidewalk right under a young Cooper's Hawk.  The bird seemed to be 
    nervous about this, but didn't fly.  I started to move to the other side of 
    the street so I could see the bird with better light, when the bird did fly, 
    but it dove into a tree right in front of me.  There was a squawk, a bird 
    flew over me to the east and the Cooper's Hawk disappeared between two 
    houses to the west.
