Good shots. Urban predators learn about bird feeding stations early. We have a juvenile Cooper's who's territory covers 5 or 6 blocks. It never hunts the same place two times in a row. Kill or miss, only one try then moves on for a week or so to let the prey calm down. Smart predator, dumb prey.
They are pretty crafty. Our birds are fairly crafty as well. There was a Junko hiding in the tree that stayed there until after the hawk left. He did leave still hungry.
