And Then There Were Five

These sweet little guys didn’t know that death was lurking in the form of a Cooper’s Hawk. This afternoon he struck fast and deadly and flew off with a little brown bird.The patio was quiet after that.

Oh dear! Poor little bird

[Diane]

Oh, so sad! I know, it's nature but it's tough to watch.

[Allison Williams]

@eudora I know the circle of life, but as you say, very hard to witness.

[Sarah Bremner]

I'm sure a children's song could be adapted to tell that story!

[Pat Knowles]

Oh no....poor birds are not having a good week...no food & picked off by a hawk....sad!

[Allison Williams]

@happypat They do still have food. I have an extension til I use up all my seed, but that Hawk has really become a danger. I think he was back today, based on the noise out back. I may not have to worry about following community rules. The Hawk is the enforcer!

[Pat Knowles]

@allie912 He’s obviously got his beady eye on them! Perhaps your birds will be safer eating elsewhere anyway sadly.
