I ran across this video of a Cooper's Hawk taking a bath.

Here is a story about the banding of the chicks. It was written by some of the chatters, and I had nothing to do with it, although it's really cute and I wish I had!

THE HAND CHRONICLES
Or What Price Bling?

It was a lovely afternoon on the nest, breezy and dappled. Five young Coopers were enjoying the day, their crops were full, their home gently rocking in the wind. There was nothing to tell them that their lives would never be the same.

Suddenly, from the left side of the peaceful little nest appeared….The Hand! Five long white hairless fingers were groping, closer, ever so much closer. "Get down! Get down!" cried one of the chicks. The babies flattened out, pressing into the twigs. "IT'S GOT ME!!" one screamed. "HELP! MOM!" screamed the other chicks. But Mom was gone - The Hand had dealt with her first.

Their father flew like the wind; dropping his prey he sped across the forest, responding to their calls; He circled overhead, calling to his chicks to stay down.

"Hold onto the sticks, sis! Don't let it get you!" cried the eldest chick. Alas, it was no use - The Hand was having its way. One by one, the awful white tentacles grabbed each chick by the leg, dragging them off the nest still holding onto the twigs. In another minute, The Hand returned the chick to the nest and grabbed the next one! The chicks tried to become invisible, edging to the far end of the nest. It was no use.

The littlest chick played dead long after the deed was done, hoping it was just a nightmare. "It's too late" said the father, "They have been marked."

And so The Hand had his way with our little family, placing little metal cuffs on each one of them. Five little babies left lying flat in their bed, never to be the same…dreadful cuffs, never to be removed: the shame of...The Hand.

* * * * * * * *

But there is a silver lining to our story of woe, friends.

When The Hand finally disappeared, and our little family's fright abated, they looked at each others' tarsi in amazement…they saw the not unattractive bracelets. The eldest chick, who was always overly aware of his elevated position in the family hierarchy, said in surprise
"Hey sis! How come you got two blings and I only got one!"

LOL! Very cute story. You just can't beat a good bangle bracelet.

Here is the text of a chat with Jared, aka WascanaNaturalist:
WascanaNaturalist: Hi everyone, Jared here from Wascana Centre Authority
raptorz4ever mod: Hello Jared!
Jacecat: Hey Jared!
Birder23: hello Jared
Birder23: we appreciate having the cooper's camera & chat on!
raptorz4ever mod: Jared, we surely are missing the Cooper's hawks. Do you still see them?
Birder23: it's been exciting to watch them
WascanaNaturalist: They are moving around a lot now. We can find 1 or 2 of them still but that is it. They should be dispersing now
Birder23: they sure were beautiful to watch, I learned a lot
WascanaNaturalist: I am not sure the adults will be feeding them much anymore. Atleast we don't see the adults around in the park
WascanaNaturalist: like we did earlier in the summer
Birder23: has anyone seen the juvies hunt?
raptorz4ever mod: Guess it's time for them to be "on their own."
Birder23: dive?
WascanaNaturalist: No, I haven't. But we haven't spent much time watching them
Jacecat: We lost a cooper's from our neighborhood early in July, looks like it got hit by a car...soooo sad
Birder23: ok understandable
Birder23: aww
WascanaNaturalist: On their own they probably need two birds a day, so they don't hunt very often
Birder23: ok
Birder23: have you learned much from the videos, may I ask? no specifics needed?
WascanaNaturalist: That's too bad Jacecat
Birder23: I loved watching them change their ways as they matured
jillbru: Good afternoon, Jared, nice to have you here
raptorz4ever mod: Were you able to catch the adult male for banding?
WascanaNaturalist: It is amazing to see how fast these guys go from hatching to flying!!
ostrich2: my local Coopers are still around but are probably going to disperse any day now
Birder23: for sure Jared, very fast
WascanaNaturalist: No we never did get a chance to get back there and try for him.
ostrich2: Wacscana, I was curious if you have ever located the adult's butcher's block
Jacecat: Hi jill!
jillbru: Hi Jace
Birder23: hey jill, rtr is open today
jillbru: Thanks, birder
Birder23: I found Jace there & brought her here
Jacecat: I'm found! :)
WascanaNaturalist: That's a good question. No we didn't .
birdsrmypassion: hello Jared
jillbru: Jared, when will the young ones migrate?
jillbru: (hi birds)
raptorz4ever mod: Jared, were there any surprises as a result of the nest cam?
WascanaNaturalist: I really would have like to but I've never really had luck to locating it.
Jacecat: How far apart is the territory of each pair of Coopers?
WascanaNaturalist: The young birds will start moving now I suspect.
birdsrmypassion: (hi jill)
WascanaNaturalist: Surprises, I haven't really gone through all the video yet. I will once we shut the camera down soon
Birder23: our red-winged blackbirds disappeared in July, I don't know why, over here in Ithaca area
Birder23: ok Jared!
WascanaNaturalist: But I guess just seeing how often the male brough prey into the nest to keep all 5 youngs alive!
raptorz4ever mod: The Cooper's young in TX dispersed about 10 days ago.
jillbru: We all would really like to know if you-all see anything that surprises you
Birder23: Jared, a good point
Birder23: yes me too
jillbru: The little #5 never seemed to be in danger of starving
Jacecat: I ask because I seem to have at least two pair pretty close in our area, within a quarter mile, I'd say.
raptorz4ever mod: They all appeared to be healthy and active at time of fledge.
WascanaNaturalist: Just looking up the distance between nests hold the phone
Birder23: ok birds, remember to give me the link for the seaeagle or r afterwards
jillbru: (hi raptor)
carrionmywaywardson: I read the male has to get the female's approval to approach the nest since he is the size of the prey she likes
Birder23: fascinating carrion
carrionmywaywardson: but we couldn't hear w/o a mic
Jacecat: Carrion, I like their way of thinking :)
Birder23: lol jace
carrionmywaywardson: not me, being a guy!
raptorz4ever mod: We did not see much of the male until the young had fledged & he brought food to the nest then.
Birder23: :x
Jacecat: I was teasing you!!!
WascanaNaturalist: I am not sure that he needs that each time he approaches the nest, but males need to definitely be cautious during the copulation/pair forming stage
carrionmywaywardson: I guess he stayed on the outskirts
Birder23: there must be a reason for it
carrionmywaywardson: lol I know
ostrich2: the male does normally vocalize off nest to announce his presence - it is a single node 'kik' or 'chip' call
WascanaNaturalist: that right ostrich - when waiting by the nest you always know the male has arrived as he calls that single note just as he arrives
Birder23: jace - now you get bathed in info about coopers - you've missed this site
ostrich2: my local male I only saw actually take something to the nest once and that was when female was off nest - every other time I'd seen him call the female and let her take the prey and bring it back to n
jillbru: All I can say is "wow"
WascanaNaturalist: then he transfers the prey to the female and he leaves almost immediately
ostrich2: yes that's exactly what I see my male do
Birder23: wow, Ezra had a hard time but got more time with the young
carrionmywaywardson: I guess she wears the pants too then
Jacecat: I need to know this and I am sorry i am so late in coming, fascinating stuff
WascanaNaturalist: It will be interesting to review the footage and see how often he brings in food.
raptorz4ever mod: This CoHa female may not be very big, but she is boss.
Birder23: yes Jared!
babynurse1: hey yall
jillbru: hi baby!
Birder23: hey baby, glad u made it
babynurse1: :)
Birder23: lots of info coming
ostrich2: yes RT interactions are quite a it different han how the CoHa operate
Jacecat: A bit different than the RT
Birder23: indeed!
Birder23: and there's a reason for this
babynurse1: hi jace! good to see you here
Birder23: I had to drag her over from RTR
Jacecat: Hey baby, thanks to birder!
Birder23: noo I feel bad I didn't know her email to tell her as she is so interested in coopers
babynurse1: did i miss the meeting
Jacecat: I could have been learning so much about our coopers here
carrionmywaywardson: crud, my burrito has a hernia
babynurse1: it was awesome to watch jace
WascanaNaturalist: So the nests are all 1000 meters apart, basically in a triangle
babynurse1: carrion..lol
jillbru: Jared there were times when the fleglings were so well fed that prey was left on the nest
Birder23: baby ask one for an update later
Jacecat: Jared, thank you for the research
Birder23: ok ty Jared
Canadianraptorman: Jared I'd be curious to know the plans for the cam and chat for next year
Birder23: ((CRM))
Jacecat: Hi CRM! :)
WascanaNaturalist: well I think the cam will come down next week
carrionmywaywardson: I saw CRM post on the hobby cam
WascanaNaturalist: I don't know what the plans are for next year
carrionmywaywardson: hopefully a mic
raptorz4ever mod: Jared, that's no surprise. We even saw a squirrel in the nest this morning.
babynurse1: yes it was cute
Birder23: we'd like it to continue - many know or have coopers
Canadianraptorman: Is there a contact person and email address for some recommendations
Jacecat: Do coopers mate for life, or for better or worse, that is?
WascanaNaturalist: This years set up was so perfect, because of the proximity to the building you can see on the screen. We were able to use the power from there
WascanaNaturalist: but I anticipate the birds to select a different nest within 100-200m from this nest next year
WascanaNaturalist: so I don't know how everything will work.
raptorz4ever mod: I have learned more than reading a dozen books watching this cam. Thank you so much!!
Birder23: thank you for having this - I hope it continues somewhere in a nest
Canadianraptorman: yes nest fidelity seems to be rare
Birder23: how true r4
jillbru: Too bad they don't use the same nests over again
WascanaNaturalist: You could email me, at Naturalist at Wascana.ca and I could pass along your recommendations to the Sask Science Centre
birdsrmypassion: Jared I want u to know that this chat has been a blessig for all us (RTH fans)
ostrich2: my pair have used the same nest this year and last but there may e some factors encouraging that
carrionmywaywardson: I wonder if they change for sanitary purposes or to avoid predators
jillbru: Hmm like what, ostrich?
ostrich2: urban environment with a limited number of suitable options most likely jillbru
Birder23: both good options carrion
birdsrmypassion: lol carrion
jillbru: oh thanks ostrich
Birder23: interesting
WascanaNaturalist: they have used the same nests on occassion here but usually not subsequent years
carrionmywaywardson: at least the bees don't take over like at the osprey nests
Birder23: I hope that you can find a camera option & perhaps a mike..
WascanaNaturalist: We are glad you guys enjoyed the cam so much! Having banded raptors for many years now, it is neat to actually see the day to day happenings in the nest as well for me!
Birder23: indeed carrion
carrionmywaywardson: I like learning about new raptors
carrionmywaywardson: new to me
Birder23: me too!
pbearskcmo: It has been a real treat and a good learning tool Thank you
Birder23: My aunt was from Sask
Birder23: hi pbears
birdsrmypassion: Jared did u read the story we made up about THE HAND?
babynurse1: hi pbears!
birdsrmypassion: hi pbears
jillbru: hi pbears
Jacecat: hey pbears!
jillbru: Yes learning about raptors that are new to us has been great!
pbearskcmo: Hi all--I am late to the party but glad I got here in time for Jared
Canadianraptorman: Were you the bander of this nest and if so can you clarify why certain bands on certain hawklets and the process of holding a hawklet by a single leg (this seemed to cause some controversy)
babynurse1: i was late too pbears
WascanaNaturalist: We have banding data to show the pairs can stay together for a number of years, but will find new mates if one dies or moves
carrionmywaywardson: Is Jared The Hand?
birdsrmypassion: yes
WascanaNaturalist: yes I did read the hand story. It was very entertaining
Birder23: I missed the story of the Hand
pbearskcmo: Yes
raptorz4ever mod: birder, it is posted at Raptor Central. I will give a link later.
Jacecat: Thanks Jared! I think the pair by me have been the same for a couple of years now
Birder23: ty
carrionmywaywardson: here is my banding video - http://youtu.be/hE4cyxji1dw
WascanaNaturalist: Different bands different birds - I used a leg gauge to assess the size of the birds leg to attach the appropriate sized band. I have placed alpha numeric colour bands on adults to be able to id
jillbru: I think I saw a chick with 2 bands?
birdsrmypassion: what was the red band for?
WascanaNaturalist: them in subsequent years. I only had male colour bands left (size 4) so I put them on the two smaller males in the nest, so folks could more easily distinguish them
Canadianraptorman: I have banded many raptors but was curious why only two hawklets received the red bands
WascanaNaturalist: The two other males had slightly larger legs, and I didn't feel comfortable putting the size 4 colour band on, so I did not.
raptorz4ever mod: We had so many discussions trying to figure out why 2 bands on 2 males - that is funny.
Canadianraptorman: thanks for that helps clear up what I suspected but couldn't get info
WascanaNaturalist: That's why only 2 of the males got them and the other three didnt
Birder23: ty
WascanaNaturalist: I have put them on chicks in the past, but never re-sight chicks, so its kind of a waste of an $7 band.
jillbru: Oh we wondered & discussed and guessed about that a lot, Jared!
Canadianraptorman: the posted info was confusing
Birder23: yes
WascanaNaturalist: However, we can watch and id the chicks at this time of year
WascanaNaturalist: with red bands
WascanaNaturalist: sorry I meant 2 males got them, 2 males did not and the female did not
WascanaNaturalist: does that make sense CRM?
birdsrmypassion: did u get to band the male parent?
Canadianraptorman: yes I understand but we were earlier confused about gender and logic for only two banded with red
raptorz4ever mod: It's very clear now, Jared. Had us using our imaginations before.
Birder23: yes, ty
WascanaNaturalist: haha sorry about that!
Birder23: I'm glad you came Jared
Birder23: :)
carrionmywaywardson: Is there a agreed upon safe way to remove the chicks from the nest?
pbearskcmo: And sometimes imaginations get muddled--ha
Birder23: profound bears!
jillbru: and go wild, pbears
Canadianraptorman: so do you care to comment further on the single leg hold to capture a hawklet
pbearskcmo: TY Birder--my deep thought for the day
Birder23: applause
Birder23: yes, CRM that is interesting, I watched your video
jillbru: brb phone
WascanaNaturalist: yes, I can, I agree it is not optimal. Unfortunately this was a really awkward nest to band, as per our safety program here, I was in a bucket lift and could not get close to the nest
WascanaNaturalist: without damaging the branches supporting the nest
carrionmywaywardson: ok, so that was the only way to reach them
WascanaNaturalist: so I made a judgement call and did the best I could.
birdsrmypassion: i thought it was done because the chick kept walking backwards and it could have fallen from the nest
Canadianraptorman: but it occurs/not uncommon in banding without injury
raptorz4ever mod: Thank you, Jared. That explanation clears up more questions we had.
WascanaNaturalist: Sorry I don't understand what you mean CRM
Birder23: RTR is coming
ostrich2: I think CRM is saying some may perceive the holding of bird by one leg to possibly cause injury but it is commonly done without any problem?
Birder23: Jared I hope you can summarize about the juvies for the late-comers
Birder23: later
raptorz4ever mod: birder, I will post this on RaptorCentral shortly.
Birder23: ok
Canadianraptorman: in attempting to capture a bird at the nest their attempt to avoid being grabbed results in the bander only able to get hold of one leg until they can get a better grasp. Doing so doesn't result in th
Canadianraptorman: the bird being injured
Birder23: makes sense
WascanaNaturalist: yes, I completely agree CRM
Canadianraptorman: thanks for clearing that up as somewhat that has never banded wild birds claimed it was very dangerous
Canadianraptorman: someone
WascanaNaturalist: When banding raptors, as you know, the banders safety is also something that needs to be considered and immobilizing the chick quickly is important for the birds safety and ours.
WascanaNaturalist: When my wife and I were banding Ferruginous Hawks in the past, she was up in the nest, wearing gloves and trying to grab a nestlings at the back of the nest
WascanaNaturalist: one of the brothers who had already been banded, in an instant reached out and grabbed the back of her gloved hand.
Canadianraptorman: I agree and there are lots of risks for human and raptor Personally when I have had help I like to lower thhe birds but many situations call for innovative techniques
WascanaNaturalist: piercing the glove and hitting a vein on the back of her hand. By the time she got out of the tree she had a golf ball sized hemotoma on that back of her hand!
WascanaNaturalist: Yes, adaptabiltiy is key!! lol
carrionmywaywardson: wow, those are powerful birds!
raptorz4ever mod: Being able to watch the banding was most educational for me, and I think I speak for others in saying thanks for allowing us to be there!
Birder23: wow
Birder23: ditto
birdsrmypassion: well said R4 Thanks
Canadianraptorman: most of these chatters won't realize the effect of a Ferrugy grasp. I've flown them and they rival some eagles
Birder23: incredible, LC has suffered from her Marriah - that story with a rabbit & marriah up a trail in the brush
pbearskcmo: Well, having seen the beaks on these raptors, it is not hard to imagine the strength
carrionmywaywardson: red tails aren't as big
WascanaNaturalist: It is something fierce! You learn very quickly how to properly handle them! That's for sure.
Canadianraptorman: beaks aren't the issue its talons and toe strength
Canadianraptorman: some falcons will bite but generally its the grasp that is dangerous
raptorz4ever mod: Jared, I was surprised & amused at how "big and bold" was the first juvie you banded & placed back in the nest.
WascanaNaturalist: Yeah, Cooper's Hawks have lots of attitude. They sometimes try to grab you repeatedly. I banded a Great Horned Owl last week and it just sat in my hand the whole time
Canadianraptorman: Cooper's are medium size twitches
Birder23: where will these coopers migrate to?
pbearskcmo: with attitude
Birder23: they need it with their size
Canadianraptorman: its not the size issues Birder its being an accipiter
Birder23: true
Birder23: do u happen to know what day the colorado tour begins?
Birder23: I was going to look ituponline
Canadianraptorman: I think the 19th
WascanaNaturalist: have you banded many goshawks CRM? They don't come down here very often. But I have heard many stories about them!
Birder23: now that I'm basically moved in, I missed the utah one/ ty
Birder23: I LOVE goshawks!
wn & displayed for me 2 years in a row
WascanaNaturalist: I have banding recoveries from Texas and Kansas for Coops banded in Saskatchewan
Birder23: once in a wintery scene with all the trees - wings & tail out
Birder23: the next year he didn't come
Canadianraptorman: yes and got knocked down a thin Tamarack by an adult female once
WascanaNaturalist: I believe it, do you wear a helmet?
Birder23: ok Jared may I ask where they migrate from your area?
Birder23: ouch!
ostrich2: it is interesting how different the response is by Coopers to human presence near nest - in wild situations they are supposed to be extremely aggressive but in urban areas they are not
Canadianraptorman: after that I resorted to a hard hat and leather neck protected hanging out the back with a face painted on it lol
Birder23: good!
pbearskcmo: You and the Kestrels CRM
Birder23: what kind of bird knocked u down crm?
WascanaNaturalist: I am not sure where our birds end up.
Birder23: ok ty just the general area/ ty
Canadianraptorman: out here I use climbing spurs a lot but on that tree being so skinny I chose to shinny up some and use the tinny branches with belt. Mistake lol
pbearskcmo: Where have some of them ended up?
raptorz4ever mod: They must have a shock when they head south & encounter the native prairie right outside their woods.
Canadianraptorman: Goshawl
Canadianraptorman: I am about to release the Kestrel this coming weekend
Birder23: crm I have an undulating, steep, sinding road I walked up & down 2 days ago!
raptorz4ever mod: Oh good to hear, CRM!!
Birder23: great, I was about to ask
birdsrmypassion: that is wonderful CRM
birdsrmypassion: u did good
Birder23: I'm glad he can be free!!
pbearskcmo: good news
Birder23: good job!!
Birder23: are u teaching him to hunt on your wrist?
Canadianraptorman: no need to teach to hunt its an adult
WascanaNaturalist: Coop's overwinter across much of the US and into Mexico. My band recoveries during the winter months have come from Kansas and Texas.
Birder23: gottcha
Birder23: ty Jared
Birder23: I got that part, ty
ostrich2: we get most of our sharp shinneds and Coopers on migration count here in Sept and a little bit in Oct - some of those might be on their way to those areas
Canadianraptorman: have there been many recoveries Jared
Birder23: some RTH actually go to Puerto Rica & stay down there & claim their territory
Birder23: & then some don't migrate as Ezra & BR
WascanaNaturalist: No, I haven't banded that many COHA because we are in the prairies, they are very localized.
Birder23: I see
WascanaNaturalist: So I think I have 2 or 3 recoveries, but more resightings of adults at the nest
WascanaNaturalist: One male here in Wascana nested in the park for 7 years in a row
Birder23: it is great to have resightings
Canadianraptorman: yes I realize that. I have spent a number of summer days around Saskatoon and never saw any there
Birder23: the meterologist from Binghamtom spoke at the Lab of Ornithology - they now see migrating birds at night on radar
Jacecat: Jared, that's nice to know, trying to find our hawks' nest before they decide to relocate
Canadianraptorman: found Merlins but no Coopers
Birder23: for the first time they saw birds in the eye of hurr Sandy - one raised his hand if they can stop windmills - those are for smaller birds - the larger birds tackle the weather fronts that the passerin
Birder23: es don't
Canadianraptorman: and of course recoveries are a small percentage of actual bandings
Birder23: I'm thankful for the rehab centers!
WascanaNaturalist: you know it CRM!
Canadianraptorman: Jared do you ever have local falconers come and do interpretive programs at the center
Birder23: that's a good idea
WascanaNaturalist: No they're aren't many falconcers around. None in Regina. The closest ones I know are in Moose Jaw, about 65 km away
ostrich2: are you aware of the technique for finding Coopers nest locations during initial courtship/nest building Jared? They will consistently vocalize a half hour before dawn at nest location
Canadianraptorman: I know several in Saskatoon area and often got unreleasable raptors from the Vet College
Birder23: neat ostrich
Jacecat: ostrich2, thanks for that tip!!!
Birder23: yes Jace!
birdsrmypassion: Jared in your opinion what would be the cause a serious legs injuries to a RTH?
ostrich2: once egg laying occurs that behavior stops however
birdsrmypassion: *of a serious...
Birder23: << picturing Jace out before dawn listening for coopers
Jacecat: ostrich, so now I will have to get up even earlier to feed hubby, get hi off to work and wander my local woods?!
WascanaNaturalist: yes ostrich, I have used it before. Neat trick! Its just that its soo early! haha
Canadianraptorman: birds that could be anything from a squirrel to fox, or other cainine
Jacecat: birder, I DO it!
Birder23: yes & I have a question - is it better to put a bird down or have him handicapped? if not in unbearable pain?
WascanaNaturalist: and our nests are so disperse you can only really check one nest a day
WascanaNaturalist: outside of Wascana I mean
Birder23: I'd like the opinion of Jarel & CRM
Birder23: Jared*
Jacecat: Birder, tough call...
Birder23: of feet handicaps -- not for the books, won't repeat your words Jarel or crm
birdsrmypassion: would a fox or other cainine go for the body reather than legs?
Birder23: for it's too close to home now I'd like your opinions & won't pass it on
Canadianraptorman: Birder thats a very specific question to the bird in care. Sometimes we need to learn on a patient to better serve a future patient. Personally it eventually becomes a quality of life issue and contri
Birder23: LC had suggested maybe an education facility, do they have birds with feet problems?
WascanaNaturalist: I would say it depends on the bird, Birder23. And the potential for education. I think if you have a docile bird who won't be too stressed then I am infavour of using that bird to educate others
WascanaNaturalist: these amazing creatures.
Birder23: exactly, need to wait it out... I just wondered if there were handcapped birds in educational facilities with feet problems, NOT that D1 must go that route
Birder23: ty both
WascanaNaturalist: If the bird is in pain or just too stress then perhaps the best thing is to put it down.
Birder23: yes if he's in pain & stress, I understand!
Canadianraptorman: Birder it depends on the extent of the injury. Personally I would euthinize any raptor that can not stand on both feet and I don't care who you tell
Birder23: ok crm, I hear you, what a life not being able to
WascanaNaturalist: Yeah, I would agree with CRM.
WascanaNaturalist: Well folks, I have to head out here.
WascanaNaturalist: It has been a blast chatting with you all!
Birder23: I'm ok crm, nature is nature.... D1` I saw close up a few times -
pbearskcmo: Many thanks Jared
raptorz4ever mod: Thank you so much for taking this time with us.
ostrich2: thanks very much Jared
jillbru: Thanks for joining us, Jared.
Birder23: ty Jared for the report & having this camera open!
SlowTurning: Jared, I've really enjoyed hearing from you and have learned a lot. Thank you.
WascanaNaturalist: If you have any questions or want to send me anything else, you can email me at naturalist at Wascana.ca
raptorz4ever mod: Hope we see you again next year!!!
babynurse1: ty jared
jillbru: Will you let us know when the cam/chat will be taken down?
WascanaNaturalist: will do!
Birder23: I wish I could visit your lovely area
Jacecat: Jared, ty so much for answering all my questions today!
carrionmywaywardson: thanks Jared!
birdsrmypassion: Thank u so much Jared it was good to see u again

Thanks for posting that R4. Answered a lot of questions!

I finally got the time to read through all of this, R4. Thank you for posting it.

Not much to watch at the CoHa nest now. Juvies have dispersed, and the nest is feeling safe again to other critturs like this squirrel.

The SASK web cam will be closed for the season Monday night, 8/26. They would like to hear from viewers and have invited all to respond via email to a survey. The survey questions are posted in the "About this Channel" section of the web site: http://www.livestream.com/coopershawkwebcam.
