The Party’s Over

Mike Warner

It was  so much fun to watch the various birds in my backyard.  It’s not very often that I spot three different species of warblers back there (Magnolia, Tennessee, and Redstart).  All of a sudden the ten House Sparrows feeding on the ground took off followed by all the other birds scattering in different directions.  A second later the cause of the flight appeared – a Coopers Hawk!  It landed in the tree at the back of my backyard and looked for any stragglers that didn’t get the message to hide.

Out of the blue.

Things are Looking Up
