A cooper’s hawk visited our Prescott, AZ front yard today looking for a dove to eat for breakfast. Gary and I were finishing a meal when the dogs alerted to the front window. Many birds enjoying our feeders and bird bath all made a panic exit when the hawk came by. It flew off with empty talons this time.
