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.
