While I was stringing some Christmas lights outside this afternoon a bird flew up the driveway at high speed and perched on the neighbor's fence. I managed to get this picture.

It's a female Cooper's Hawk. She flew to the top of a telephone pole and back to the fence several times. Note the neighbor's bird feeder in the background.

The extraordinary thing is the silence when she's around. The sky is empty of pigeons and sparrows and there isn't a squirrel or rabbit in sight.



Here's a stock photo that's the spitting image of her.
