I shovel an area at my bird feeders so birds can feed on the ground. This morning I look out to see a mouse eating cracked corn there. Maybe, I unintentionally created a "bird feeder" for raptors. I do see a Cooper's hawk zipping past my feeders now & then. Hope you have a great day, John Herman ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
