1. Glad to help. They are beautiful birds.

2. I should have posted in this group to begin with. LOL

I was vaguely aware of it, but I was't sure where to find it. Then I saw OS's post (http://www.democraticunderground.com/12081432) & was able to get here.

3. "sparrow hawks" - just gorgeous birds! I've seen them only a few times.

A Cooper's Hawk is making the rounds of our neighborhood. And the other night just before dusk, as we were walking our dogs, a Barred Owl swooped across the street, landed in a tree and took a good look at us (and vice versa).

When we can really clear out the junk and pay attention, our world is a magical place!

4. There is a bait shop in southern N.J. A juvie, Black Crowned Night Heron shows up

a few times a day for a hand out, then goes on its way.
