Discouraging hawks?

[Larryjk]

skeet, I had a Cooper's hawk when I was a school kid in the early 50s. He was a real charmer, especially if you were dumb enough to stick your finger where he could get at it with beak or claw. Had him about 4 months and my mother turned him loose so she could stop doctoring my fingers. Beautiful little bird, but meaner than heck.
