Saw something interesting Saturday afternoon: I heard a bunch of Blue Jays raising a ruckus -- I figured it was a cat that's been hanging out so I went out back to scare it off. Pretty soon I saw a small group of jays (maybe 5) chasing a Cooper's Hawk across my yard into the neighbor's yard. I stayed out there because the ruckus wasn't quieting any; it was actually getting louder and wilder -- so I waited to see what was going on. After a couple minutes the Cooper's came rocketing out of the trees about 15 feet off the ground with the jays in pursuit but quickly being left behind. It was all pretty close to me and it didn't look like the hawk was carrying anything. Then I noticed that right on the Cooper's flank -- literally -- was a hummingbird. The scene, though happening fast, was very clear. It looked like a little fighter plane right on the tail of a bomber! Thought this list would get a kick out that visual. I don't expect I'll ever get to see something like that again.
