When a pair of the squirrels scooted up a nearby tree, things got testy, in an adversarial kind of way. Perched on a thin limb that gave it a great vantage point to observe the goings-on at the feeder was a meat-eater, a predator, a Cooper's hawk.

Brown Thrasher At The Bird Feeder
The brown thrasher A large, skulking bird of the thickets, is known to be one of the best and most spectacular singers with the largest repertoire of songs of all North American birds. It is also a very hidden bird so the chance of people actually spotting the bird is smaller than that of hearing the bird sing.

The Eurasian Collared-Dove In The United States
Keep an eye out for the Eurasian collared-dove which is being spotted in different places in the United States.
The Eurasian collared-dove is much larger and heavier than our mourning dove. The distinguishing field mark that separates it from the native dove is the black horseshoe shaped ring on the back of its neck that extends onto the sides of the neck.
