Another benefit of the feeding is watching the Coopers. They fly low through the neighborhood targeting Eurasians. The hit is impressive. I have one that appears almost the same time every evening for his bedtime snack.

I had a sharp shinned hawk come in recently that totally freaked every bird in the area out.
Do you guys remember that study they did where they measured the speed of alarm communications between all the birds in an area when a predator would show up? Basically when a hawk is coming, all the birds know it based on alarm calls before the hawk can even get close and it fans out. If you're paying attention to those alarm calls you can tune into that and keep your head on a swivel and find what set them off.
Pretty wild to be looking at a hundred birds making all kinds of racket and in a matter of maybe two seconds, you're now looking at ZERO birds and it's now absolutely silent. It's amazing that bird hunting raptors get to eat at all.
