We birded KIH yesterday afternoon for about an hour and 20 min. We had multiple numbers of each species except Nashville Warbler, Eastern Wood-pewee, Merlin and Cooper's Hawk. We birded for a little while with Jocelyn right before we left, a Cooper's Hawk flew in and terrorized the place so much that all the birds either moved or stayed still. Most if not all the migrants on our list disappeared right after the Copper's arrival. You have to love predator/prey relationship, a bigger bird comes in to feed and everyone goes indoors or out of sight! Sounds kind of familiar a Hurricane comes and we all scurry indoors. An Eastern Wood-pewee kept us entertained as it would hawk bugs inches from us, it was amazing!
