Cooper's Hawk



The Cooper's hawk who terrorized critters back in January on a daily basis now has a partner and is a daily presence around Base Camp. Tom walked outside and found one on the front porch and one minute later another on the back porch. Twice while chasing sparrows a Cooper's has slammed into the rear door of the lodge. The White-tailed Antelope squirrels have an intricate warning system keeping track of them and so far to Tom's knowledge no Antelope squirrels have been taken but at the bottom of the trail just before the river there are a couple piles of feathers and only feathers.
