[Birdtalk] Backyard Feeder Stories

[rmacduff at xmission.com]

Hi All,

I too have been rather entertained by the birds around the  
neighborhood and feeders this weekend, as well as over the past  
several weeks:

Cedar Waxwings
Red-breasted nuthatches
Mountain Chickadees
BC Chickadees
Stellars Jay
Juncos
Robins
Magpies
Downy Woodpeckers

And this morning a Sharp-shined Hawk took a robin, ate it in the  
backyard and a while later perched atop the roof directly above my  
back door. The magpies gave it away. Then an hour later wondered why  
the neighborhood cat was perched on the back fence. As I approached  
the window the SS Hawk flew out of the tree just above where the cat  
was, and the hawk flew off.
