It's Starting Again

Three or four years ago I had a persistent Cooper's hawk that hunted the morning little people everyday. Constant harassment, betraying it's position (they hunt on the ground), and driving it off finally worked. Two years ago a Sharp-shinned hawk would come up to 15 times a day in a very long battle of wits, or lack of, that lasted months and I got emails from blog followers saying I'd lost my mind. That ended in Feb 2014 in what may be the best video of roughly nine years here titled "Morning of Magic". Somewhere around the same time a Loggerhead Shrike daily put fear into the songbirds, squirrels, chipmunks and the like that have breakfast here each morning. A couple hundred snow balls sent it packing. Now it appears to be Sharp-shinned time again. Four consecutive days, four or five times each day, the hawk cometh. I do not know why the arrow in the video shows up on the right side of the screen sometimes preventing making the video larger. If you click on the DSCF number instead of the arrow it solves the problem.
