Cooper’s Hawk invasion

I was out of town for 7-days and at least two Coopers hawks have found several prime, low-to-the-ground ambush spots in my absence. I haven’t seen nor heard from my bluebird male since my return on 6/21 and I’m afraid he may have been taken, as that’s atypical for him this time of year. Hopefully, he’s busy with another nest somewhere, but I’ve written him off at this stage.

I haven’t seen the female either, and she’s obviously abandoned her 2nd nest, but I heard/glimpsed at least one juvie today so that’s at least a positive sign.

On an unrelated note, it looks like I will have to discontinue the user-controlled cams due to bandwidth/cost issues ($400/month and my ads cover about $100/month so I must stop the bleeding). Nonetheless, that cam will be the main ustream cam and the frames-per-second smoke the control cam and it doesn’t cost me a dime.
