Sparrow Sanctuary

This male Coopers Hawk was moving about on top of the snow covered Pussy Willow in our yard, in an attempt to flush 7 or 8 House Sparrows hiding below. He took off into the nearby hedge, possibly in pursuit of a sparrow. A few seconds later the flock of House Sparrows shot out of the willow and hid in a nearby cedar hedge. The hawk returned about 10 minutes later and brushed the willow but continued on......see next image...

Great capture of this Coopers Hawk being out played by the House Sparrows. It does look a little pensive as to it's next move.
