I was out with Cookie a week or ago on one of her mule deer photo runs. One of her stops was a juniper/cottonwood setting with tons of juniper berries about. Saw kestrals, coopers, and sharp shins after robins, solitaires, and starlings. I witnessed several hits, but the victims escaped in all instances.

We did see a redtail blindside a flicker mid-flight but did not have enough notice to get the cameras up and going. I did not think they were much for birding.
