Now, don’t get me wrong, I think that this Cooper’s Hawk is absolutely beautiful, and he has to eat just like everyone else. And after Adam’s fall, God made him to eat other birds. I know that. I just wish he wouldn’t eat any of the birds at our feeder…

I realize that I have to get over this, but every time I see a pile of feathers beneath the feeder I feel a bit guilty, as though I’ve lured the birds there with all of the seed and suet and nuts that I put out for them. I really enjoy watching the birds that come to our yard (and believe me, we get plenty!), but I don’t want to see them gobbled up by a hungry hawk. Maybe I can put the feeder somewhere with more protection from predators. Any suggestions would be appreciated…
