It is a part of the birds body flight or fight response. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a part of the birds body flight or fight response. That's very interesting. I didn't know that and probably wouldn't have had I not posted this photo. So I Iooked at the timestamp on the photos and it was about a minute from when it started raising its tail to the very last shot of the 'unload' series ? and a few seconds later it maneuvered it's body to face the opposite direction, then swooped off of the pole and missed a chickadee that had come out of hiding. All the other birds, as well as the squirrels and chipmunks stayed hidden in the garden for quite a while after the hawk left. Thanks for the cool information! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulK Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 No photo, but this evening I watched a wing of Canada Geese land in a field full of geese, and 10 seconds later from the same direction a Cooper's Hawk buzzed them only a few feet above, setting off a chorus of furious honking. That was funny enough, but the LOL moment is picturing a Coop actually catching a full-size ornery goose and trying to figure out what to do with it, while getting battered about. I'd imagine success would be something along these lines: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
