Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 i now have a little zoo all kinds of birds and squirrels, are coming to my backyard. this morning as I was filling my bird feeder I felt someones eyes, and I turn around I was shocked!! it was the most enormous bird that I have ever seen. he was within a few feet from me and I dared not move, his face looked kinda owlish,he was brown and enormous. we stare at each other, and then he takes off with his giant wings. I then look him up on the internet and I believe that he is called cooper hawk. I know what he is after, it is not my corn, they are CARNIVOUROUS, although I know, this is a fact of life for him eat a smaller bird I just do not want to witness such things! , peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: > > All the ( Corvids?) are intelligent - Crows/Ravens/Magpies/Jays etc...bit spooky some of them ............ > > The Valley Vegan................ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 i did a google pictures search and i now believe it was a red tailed hawk, such a beautiful bird when it spreads its wings in the sky. when it glides with such scope on the wind, when many are round seems like a sky ballet. telling us this is how it can be, you too can have this grace. http://www.fnal.gov/ecology/wildlife/specs/Red_tailed_Hawk.html , fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: > > wot color brown? > reddish at all? > any stripes on chest or tail? > tail hawk-like, or split? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
