While cleaning the upstairs bedroom today - hanging laundry in my "green drying room" because it was raining and ironing clothes - I glanced up to find much to my surprise a bird of prey - preying upon a baby bird. Now don't get all teary eyed. If it was a cardinal or thrush I would be upset also but baby starlings-- well... I always marvel at the tenacity of some birds. No matter how big the preyer is they will band together and attack. Oh that I would be so tenacious about things in my life.Was quite sure of the id. I know after a semester in Ornithology I should be able to do that. Suspect a coopers hawk.
