on an evening such as this

I heard a yelling outside the window, from the back porch, and I quickly took a look. This fellow was on the neighbors' railing, standing there squeezing a sparrow-sized bird and yelling all the while. I think it is a Cooper's Hawk, based on coloration and behavior.

I do wonder if the neighbor has figured her finch feeder feeds more than finches.

In other news, I am eagerly awaiting a delivery of frozen rodents.
