Fresh snow seems always to bring birds in from the fields to our yard. So, I put out extra seed. This morning I managed to attract about 35 Am. Tree Sparrows, 20 D-e. Juncos, about 25 Mourning Doves and a handful of other birds. The concentration of small birds must have looked like a smorgasborg of fine feathered meatballs to the local raptors. A small adult Cooper's Hawk arrived. He (I think it was probably a male given its diminutive stature) failed in his initial attempt but I'm sure he'll be trying all day to snag a tasty treat. I expect to find a pile of feathers in the yard when I get home from work this evening.
