Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?

[wtg]

Just saved a life. And deprived someone of dinner.

Went outside and heard a bird screeching. Looked over to my neighbor's front lawn and saw a Cooper's hawk on the lawn. Looked like it was holding something down with its talons. I walked towards it and it took off to the south. A now-free Northern flicker took off to the north.

Human messing with nature.

Good for you. A flicker’s pretty big game for a Cooper’s hawk.

I ran into a neighbor just now and told her about the hawk-flicker encounter. She said she saw two hawks tag-teaming a squirrel last winter.

The squirrel was not as fortunate as the flicker....
