Thanks Donna,
I really don't get many RWBB or Cowbirds at all. I think they are more aprehensive around tight little neighborhoods like this. If a lot of anything comes in at once, I gently tap on the window and all scatter except, Kinglet, Warbler, and Doves.. A few sparrows just move deeper into the rosebush for a minute, then everyone comes back except the transient flock.
A Hawk got one of the sparrows today.. I had just set up the tripod and aimed it through the window to aim out all the prospective areas where certain birds alight. I went away for a little bit and came back to silence, an erie dead silence. Then I looked up through the window, and straight out on the back fence was the SShawk with it's prize. It took it a while to eat.
