We had a winter storm in my area yesterday and the wind and ice were not kind to my bird feeders. This morning I picked them up off of the ground, pounded the ice out of them, and then repositioned them in the yard. The bird were very thankful:-)
Even my Cooper’s Hawk friend, who has become a daily visitor in my backyard, showed up. Luckily for my other feathered friends, he went away hungry!

I agree with you Tiny! I can always tell when he is around; my feeders clear out and I grab my camera:-)
