took a brief walk down to one of the nearby gyms for a "raid" on a Magicarp (spoiler: I won), and on the way there heard whistling in the tree of a juvenile Cooper's hawk. :D so on the way back I paused to play Cooper's hawk calls on my Merlin app, and spoofed it down close enough that it was perched literally right over my head as it tried imitating the adult call in its cute whistling voice. SO CUTE. XD as I was leaving the area, I heard another juvenile whistling (1/?)

nearby--last year there were three fledglings, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's another three this year--and just as I was leaving that patch of forest I was buzzed by an adult hawk, probably checking up to make sure I wasn't going after the kids! :D then I got thoroughly scolded by a parent crow--I could hear the juvenile crow nearby, the adult was warning me away. because apparently I was a Cooper's hawk! XD
