We have had up to five White-throated Sparrows in our yard for about a week. They like to feed under a row large yew bushes. Yesterday one in beautiful plumage was feeding with a couple of House Sparrows. A female Cooper's dropped down next to the bushes. The birds took cover, but the hawk went right into the tangle after them. Three birds flew out with the hawk following closely after one of them. They disappeared behind the garage, so I have no idea which bird came out the winner.
