Our 1st snow brought more attention to the feeders than they've seen all
fall. The Screech Owl above flew into the box
at 6 a.m., just over my head as I shoveled out the feeders. He stayed for
the day and posed late in the afternoon
for the photos below. The Red-Shouldered Hawk & Cooper's Hawk both visited
the yard through the day.

This is the 2nd winter an adult Red-Shouldered Hawk has spent time in the yard just after a snow storm. They nested in the area this summer, chasing other raptors from the area and flying with young this fall just down the road from the house. |

This adult Cooper's Hawk has been spending quite a bit of time in the yard this fall. A hatch year has been around as well.
