Videos shot by Maria Keating.

Maria videos a hawk dining on a chickadee in our cherry tree at City Farmer’s garden. We can’t tell if this is a Coopers Hawk or a Sharp-shinned Hawk. For 30 minutes the hawk concentrated on his meal, while some crows looked on with interest and a black squirrel travelled its highway of branches nearby.

The bird of prey’s visit is not a usual occurrence in our city location, so we stopped everything and paid close attention.
