• Trivia: Have you noticed that beautiful pair of raptors soaring above our pool this summer? Some find their screeching a bit unnerving, but it is hard to deny these hawks are incredible. Well, being a bit of a geek/nerd, I could not resist trying to identify them. It appears that our guests might just be a pair of Cooper’s Hawks and the screeching is them calling out to each other about food delivery. They also make other sounds you might find familiar, and a great site to listen can be found at: Cornell’s Ornithology Page. Also interesting, they eat other birds (i.e. mourning doves) and the male, who is much smaller, builds the nests and does much of the “domestic” work.
