Whenever I see the Cooper’s Hawk it seems to be in a flash as it darts by in close quarters; or, in the apparent aftermath, perching wide-eyed and stunned, unable to comprehend how its quarry escaped.

2022 Madison-area CBC results
Each December, birders come together for the longest-running citizen science project in the US: the Christmas Bird Count. The national effort is coordinated by National Audubon Society, but there are thousands of counts done locally, coordinated by local birders. In the Madison-area, the count is coordinated by Madison Audubon, and put on with help from over 100 volunteers each year.
