Hi Everyone, Thereıs a flock of pigeons (you know, pigeonsColumba livia), maybe 50 birds, that lives on the south side of Mayfield Road, just west of Coventry, in Cleveland Hts. Theyıre fed by some residents of the area, natch. I was in the area today, and saw the flock of pigeons flying in that typical Rock Pigeon way, big circles by the entire flock, when I realized that one of the birds was not a pigeon, but a Cooperıs Hawk. It was flying at the edge of the flock, following around with them. T first I thought it was going to pick a bird to chase, but the pigeons didnıt seem very panicky, and the hawk just circled around a few times, then left the flock and flew lazily off towards the cemeteries. I guess the pigeons were just a little too big for this raptor...
