while eating berries
I heard a great commotion
among the Crows and
the squeak of a hawk.
The Crows were evidently
mobbing it. I kept still
and then gave a Cooper
Hawk whistle and later
a Douglas Squirrel note.
The old hawk came
straight for the sound
heading thru heavy
woods with a mob of
Crows in attendance.
I was concealed
but the hawk located
me by sound within 20ft. As the bird sat
there the Crows
made a terrible uproar
for I had not whistled
for a shuffle while ago
the bird flew f to me
and it must have been
a long ways off at
first so it coasted me
very well by sound.
The bird was evidently
a female Cooper in red
brown with tan wings
They were Chiffchee
started barbing away
by after the hawk flew.
