Hawk

The sky was clear and deeply blue.  The creek surface was too agitated to reflect more than color.  The red bellied and downy woodpeckers visited.  A mockingbird came to see whether I'd gotten around to refilling the dishes.  A great blue heron shot over the house and up the creek.  There was an abundance of warblers.  The dog had to chase a squirrel.  

A starling came by, but all it got was a drink of water.  Then a Cooper's hawk swooped through.  I heard a bird hit the window but I think it escaped.  The hawk landed in the maple.  I didn't have a good angle for pictures and there were a lot of branches in the way.  The hawk glided back my way but I missed the shot.  The birds were scarce after that.
