Random bird talk: Saw a Cooper's Hawk in Sunnyside today hunting sparrows; it let me get quite close up, like 15 feet or so. It had found a bush full of sparrows it had cornered and would spend a couple minutes watching the bush, then dive in to try and make a kill, then hop back out again. Pretty cool to see it up close, and I've got no problem with its efforts to thin out the european sparrow population.
