A Kettle of Hawks at Tandy Hills Natural Area
On September 16, 2023, I took a late evening hike at Tandy Hills. Normally, there are only one or two hawks living at Tandy Hills. Tonight, I was treated to a group of about a dozen. As I topped a hill, I saw two fly out of the trees. Then another. Then several. Then one flew right over my head and brushed my hat. YES! They all ended up in a big Cottonwood tree across the canyon. A few Bluejays were tailing them. My Merlin Bird app indicated, Red-Tailed, American Kestrel and Cooper's Hawks were nearby. I'm pretty sure the tree is filled with Cooper's Hawks.
