Today was a catch-up on paperwork day which meant no getting out to bird, or so I though. Just after lunch I went out to get the mail and picked up two birds, a belted kingfisher flying from our two acre pond with a Cooper's Hawk in hot pursuit. The Cooper's Hawk has reduced our local mourning dove population much to my wife's displeasure. She isn't happy finding circles of feathers in the flower beds. But getting buzzed by a low flying kingfisher with a hawk in hot pursuit is definitely not an everyday experience. Charlie Bombaci Genoa Township, Delaware County **************Need a new ride?
