Hi Everyone, This morning, I saw a Cooperıs Hawk dive between two apartment buildings on Kenilworth (across the street from the entrance to Lake View Cemetery, in Cleveland Heights). An instant later, a small flock of pigeons (under two dozen) emerged. The pigeons were not at all amusedin fact, they were in a panic, but quickly formed into an organized flock and started to circle around above the buildings. The Cooperıs Hawk made another pass at them, then gave up and settled into a tree, looked around for awhile, then moved on to perch in a more distant tree, where it was still sitting when I left. Pigeons seem kind of big for Cooperıs Hawk prey. Is this a dim-witted bird, or is there another possibility: there might be one chance, if in its initial dive the hawk can catch a pigeon unaware, maybe it could take it.
