I've been feeding birds for years and I truly enjoy the activity. Two years ago a pair of Coopers Hawks moved into the neighborhood and have decided to camp out at my feeders. At first they seemed to concentrate on the Mourning Doves then moved on to the Blue Jays and Cardinals. Now they will take anything except maybe Chickadees. I'm seriously thinking about quitting my feeding because of this. I understand the Hawks are just doing what Hawks do but the numbers of birds coming to the feeders is nothing what it once was. Anybody else run into this? What did you end up doing if anything? Thanks.
