That's an interesting report, because our yard squirrels seem pretty 
oblivious to our Cooper's visitors.  In fact yesterday an immature 
Cooper's landed on our brush pile in the back of our yard, and a squirrel 
continued to forage no more than 5 feet away.  At one point the squirrel 
hopped up on the pile and startled the hawk, who then flew away.
