For the second time within 3 weeks, I witnessed a hawk attack on a bird 
visiting our feeders this morning.  A cooper's hawk nabbed a female 
cardinal, then proceeded to feast on it for about forty minutes.  What 
was really amazing and unexpected was that after it flew away, a barred 
owl immediately flew in to claim the rest.  A great day to be watching 
the feeders.
