A little while ago, I was looking out my window at my bird feeding station
when a hawk landed on the lawn right in front of my building. My first
thought was that the Cooper's came back. I haven't seen it in over a
month. A second look told me that it was a Peregrine Falcon.
Its behavior was not what I expected from a falcon. It walked around on
the ground and then walked into the bushes in front of the building trying
to catch one of the house sparrows. I only wish he had been succesful. I
have been trying to trap those house sparrows because they eat all the
food I leave out for the finches, cardinals, and house sparrows.
This all took place in southern Delaware County directly behind Polaris
Towne Center.
