Coopers Hawks: In the fall they come down here for the winter. I just finished up my hay for the year. Field rats are usually part of the harvest. It is really humbling, thrilling, great feeling, or what ever you want to call it, to see this shadow following along "abaft of the beam" (nautical term meaning off to the side, like if you are heading N. something in a SW or SE direction) waiting for you to dislodge one from it's once cozy living quarters.
When they catch one they may stop and have lunch in the field, or go to a fence post, or up in a tree. Other times they will land where hay is down and look around for something to eat.
