Kinda' bopping her head a little as if listening to music. Glad to read your bit about Coopers don't like people and sharpie's don't mind them; I'm in Oregon, too, and I'll go with that (and the long skinny legs) to ID this one. She was lovely and just so relaxed w/my dog out there running around and everything. I was just frozen watching her until she calmly lit off for who-knows-where... Hope she comes back... C.A.

We live in Ohio and have had a hawk in the back yard swarming the bird feeder and perching in the trees. The next time this happens one of us will be heading out the door to see if the hawk flies away. Maybe, hopefully all Shin's act the way yours does. Thanks!

I have a hard time as both visit the yard. Interesting as it does seem that the shapie doesn't mind as much as the Coopers if someone is around...I wonder if that is scientific...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
