Meet Hadley Hawk. She is a Cooper's Hawk that has taken up residence in our backyard. Most of the time she sits in our bird bath. She drinks from it and cools herself in it. If she is not there, she is in a nearby tree. We used to have a variety of birds that visited our bird bath, but she's pretty much claimed it as her own. Other birds won't come when she's here. Except for one bold hooded oriole (gorgeous bird) who scolded Hadley for a good 1/2 hour. We wonder if Hadley raided her nest? We find feather evidence of Hadley's taste for dove meat, though we haven't actually seen her kill one. We wonder how long Hadley will be our house guest? She is fun to watch.
