There's been a Cooper's hawk hanging around our backyard off and on for the past month. Usually lands in the tree and watches the bird feeder. Then one day I noticed it on the fence about 25' from the house, then the next time it landed on the pole that the other feeders are hanging from about 10' from the house. Cats were sitting in the window not sure what to think.
