Da Banded Killer Spotted

                  Da Banded Killer Spotted........


We've been noticing bird feather piles around da yard dis yr. Also discovered a dead wood pecker laying on top of an electrical box in da yard. Blood stains about da neck but not eatin.
We have multiple feeders throughout the back yard. This creates a virtual smorgasbord for our birds and they become vulnerable as obvious pray in da area. Recently I spotted a hawk of some type sittin on our close line holder. I didn't notice at da time but after takin a quick photo I see he was banded.

Anyhow, anyone know what da proper name for dat hawk was.

 No!...No! Reb     It's not called "Da Banded Killer"

Is this like the Boar's Viking sausage contest? Do I get a prize?    

Well,  being it's attacking other birds and eating them, safe to say it's a Coopers', but ya haveta listen to the call, to differentiate it from a sharp-shinned....which eats small mammals and NOT other birds. I've have a herd of Coopers around here, and there's no mistaking that continual kak-kak-kak call...
