Chipping Sparrow in Ridgefield. Also, a Cooper's pinning a male Flicker to the ground in the yard right in front of me. The Flicker took a surprisingly long time to die, struggling sporadically for almost 10 minutes. At one point, it almost escaped. I'd have expected the Coop's scythe-like talons to make quicker work of the kill. -Jason Kessler www.opposablechums.com
