What's Going On?

Yesterday I went out and ran the cultivator over the hay patch in preparation for the season's hay crop planting.

In the winter we will have a single or pair of Coopers Hawks but I have never seen more.

Yesterday I got started and before long I counted 6, then more and more and more till the final tally was 23. Twenty three Coopers Hawks in my seed bed!!!!!!!!! We have an enormous supply of large white worms and obviously I uprooted some and the birds were dining.

That's not the point. The point is, where did this many birds come from?

But all in all they were beautiful and some would let me drive by them making the next row to them.

Amazing, utterly amazing.

Suppose the bad weather up North drove them South?

The one or two we had used to stick around till late in the summer. They would accompany me in my haying operation. I think Eagles and Coopers are gorgeous birds, so majestic and all.

Anyway, sometimes you would see their shadow on the ground where they were right behind and above you, or they would see a field mouse/rat and have him trapped under a talon as you drive by. Had one that knew a prey was in a windrow so he systematically goes down the ww till he finds him. Up in the talons and away to the nearest high pole or tree limb.

I was out spraying weeds this am along the fence row and nar a one in sight. Guess they were passing through.

But the geese are back. Ran them off this am and they were back this pm. She keeps getting under my pier and I think she is telling him to sign the papers, she wants the house. Grin
