What is it with Hawks lately?
We have had two visits from Coopers Hawks and one from the Sharp Shinned Hawk recently.
Plus I was reading that Seth and Michelle from Portland Oregon Backyard Birds have had 40 or so visits from their local Sharpie, and I think two from the Coopers!
Is it always like this?
I have not yet been through the full cycle of Northwest birds yet so I don't know if it's just an easy meal because there are so many birds in winter? I don't know yet but as soon as summer comes I should know :-)

I always get some hawk visits during the fall and winter, but it's never been "too bad." I guess they have to get a meal too and the little birds always come back.
I've not yet been through a 'full cycle' yet either (just started watching in February this year), but I remember excitedly watching both Coopers & Sharpies, a Red-tailed and perhaps a Swainson’s Hawk (it was huge, though…at the time, I thought it may have been a Ferruginous. I’ll never know for sure.) But of late, the only big guy I’ve seen has been multiple visits from a Great Horned Owl.
I can hardly wait till the hawks come back!
