I was at Westwood Hills Nature Center (again) in St. Louis Park, =
Hennepin County. Highlights include:

@ D-C Cormorants (2)
@ B-W Hawk (heard)
@ Many R-E Vireos singing

Here's the interesting part: I was told that there were three turkey =
poults (a few days old.) I did find one, but I also found a juvenile =
Cooper's Hawk perched on the ground right by the poult. My guess is that =
he had caught one. No accompanying adults seen at all. After that, =
however, I saw three Wild Turkeys crossing the parking lot (2 males, one =
female.) There were no poults among them...I now wonder if that was the =
mother of the abandoned poult. Good birding!
