I’m not sure kit is correct, while a kit implies some assembly required I fear there are parts missing

Originally posted by ToddK An excellent capture of a master predator. I have at least one or two Cooper's Hawks jet through my backyard oaks every day. One day, for some reason,one of them flew through and made a U-turn while I was standing near my Hummingbird feeder and he almost took my head off. I don't think he had a clue that I was there until the last split-second. Luckily for both of us he dodged around me.
I read somewhere a very hig percentage of mature birds hav broken bones in their wings due to the nature and speed they fly through the trees,

In the past I posted my own shot of a pigeon proof Bird feeder, it is a shot of my back yard feeder with an immature Cooper’s hawk sitting on top of it. To some extent, our feeding of song birds has created a natural if somewhat larger unintended feeder.
If only I could somehow attract the red tailed hawks to manage the procession of squirrels That visit my feeders these days. But don’t broadcast that thought too far, or we will see rupert’s army of Otis
