In the large trees west of the bladwin, there were many robins and a flock of 20+ Cedar Waxwings. A hedge of hawthorne is full of berries, no leaves, but there was no sign that they were being eaten. Jan. 16. J.T. and I walked to the top of the hill via Panoramic Birds very scarce in the lower canyon. A Cooper Hawk flew over and just after I stopped looking at him through my 8x, I heard the call of a Sparrow Hawk calling. So I looked again and found the Sp. Hawk darting at the Cooper Hawk from above. Later we found the Sp. Hawk on his usual perch above the stile at the top. He fryst his eyes in the ground and occasionally dropped to catch something. Said Peteril racing. Two thrashers were singing in the canyon. (Hawk)
