I just had a large (50-100) flock of small finches (goldfinch/siskin/redpoll size) circling around the Jenning's hall area chasing after a cooper's hawk that landed on Aranoff. I saw them from my office, and quickly opened my window in time to hear a few seconds of calls that sounded closer to redpoll calls and goldfinch calls, however these were distant and not heard well enough to trust that ID. Flight style was also reminiscent of redpoll flocks I've seen in NY, but again, I'm hesitant to pin a species ID on these birds. The birds flew off towards the oval. Hopefully they stick around campus and someone else notices them.
