Christie, Labird:
If we are seeing a population cycle, it may have been a very long one. =
We need to hear from some birders who have been around longer than me or =
see some good relevant records. If there is an element of adaptation =
involved, an increased urban population would be expected, from a real =
increase and/or from redistribution. It would not be definative, but It =
will be interesting to see if urban breeding records continue to =
increase.

LAbird,
We've had a couple of fine birds come and stay in our yard, ones that I
certainly never expected. Today we got another new bird and it's one we've
been watching for. Rudy came into the house and said he thought he'd just
seen a White winged Dove. After he checked a field guide, he was positive.

On the subject of Cooper's Hawks,
I've spent the last 2 days watching a band of some 200+ robins descend =
upon my neighborhood. This morning they were greedily gulping down the =
fruits from our neighbor's cherry laurel trees, in competition with the =
cedar waxwings, when they suddenly burst into flight and split the scene =
as a Cooper's Hawk came winging across my backyard. Talk about a =
colorful sight!

Hello everyone,
I've got nesting G-H owls next to my house in a stand of woods. This =
afternoon, a flock of crows discovered one of them and proceeded to a =
major league harassment. Every 2 or 3 minutes, the owl would fly to a =
new tree, staying in the general area. They found both the male and =
female and both were flying around trying to avoid the crows, but the =
more they flew, the more noise they made and the more that showed up. =
After about 10 minutes , there must have been 20 or 30 chasing them from =
tree to tree. I'm sure the nest was left open for some time and finally =
the owls seemed to lose them. 20-30 minutes later and both returned to =
the area. It was quite a spectacle.
