I went to the laundry facility in my apartment complex about 15 minutes ago and noticed what I thought were my FOY Chimney Swifts. A closer look revealed them to be bats (still FOY). As I watched for a few moments, a juvenile Cooper's Hawk appeared from nowhere and made a pass at one of the bats! No dice, but the hawk have it three attempts before he moved on. Has anybody seen accipiters hunt bats before? It was an awesome but of urban birding for me!
