A family of Cooper's hawks is nested in the bush behind the house. They are excellent hunters and flyers. There were 5 birds all sitting on the deck rail and roof of the house watching the pond. The adults seem to have chosen the yard to school the young on hunting. Divebombing frogs etc. One took a robin out of the air about 15' from my head. So much for the wood duck house we built. Had the trail cam on that but I think the ducks got harasses too much for comfort.
