[Tweeters] Seattle?s Adaptable Urban Cooper?s Hawks ?

[Michael Price]

Hi tweets

Adaptable, for sure. At Jericho Park, there's a 20 m/60 ft black
cottonwood. The local TBA Hawk would strafe the local 100+ Rock Pigeons to
get them into the air where they would then circle the cottonwood
clockwise. It would chase twice clockwise then halfway on the third orbit,
abruptly reverse counterclockwise, meet the pigeon flock head-on and nail
one. Technique worked regular as church on Sunday, three to five times a
day. The pigeons never learned.

best wishes, m
