they're back!

The birds are back!  Yes, maybe it's because I put food in the feeder.  But it's also because the hawk is gone.  We have a Cooper's Hawk that haunts the neighborhood looking for innocent birdies to snack on.  Once the hawk shows up, the birds disappear for a good three days or so.  I'm sure the hawk will return once it realizes the birds are back, but for now I'm enjoying the activity in the yard.
