Sighting a Cooper's hawk raiding an urban bird feeder is nothing newsworthy, I know. My question is, does anyone know any way to deter the hawk from treating the feeder like a fast food franchise? Please reply to me directly rather than cluttering the list serve. Thanks! Pam Unger Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.
