I hope you'll be able to figure out what type of bird you found in your yard.

I have a friend who has a Coopers Hawk in his area too. He was sitting outside with a young boy who's been helping him lately, and wanted to entertain the kid. He said "Watch this."

My friend got up from his chair and walked around a big evergreen tree where he knew all the sparrows were hiding. All at once, a huge crowd of sparrows flew out of the tree. The boy was amazed at the sight, but his eyes nearly popped out of his head when the Coopers Hawk swooped down into the crowd and grabbed one.

The boy said to him "How did you do that?" My friend replied, "Team work."
