you sure know how to break up a party

For the past couple of days I have noticed a conspicuous absence of squirrels and birds at the feeders. Today I think I figured out why!

I've seen this Cooper Hawk fly through the backyard from time to time, but now I think he's just been hanging out..

He was sitting up in a tree over the row of white pine trees that run along our property line. The squirrels use them as a "highway" back and forth from where they nest out back to the feeder area up near the driveway.
