When that feeder goes so will he. If you want to keep him around set up another feeder in an "open" area where he has a clear attack path to the feeder.... Also, go and look for a nest up high in your trees, if he's around all the time he probably lives close by. (I know all this because we used to have a family of Coopers nesting in our yard (South Carolina))
The feeder has been there about 23 years, so far. The woman is a bit of a bird nut. They still have a double lot, as does our neighbor on the east, so it does have a pretty good killing field.

Is this what retirement is like? I'm spending my time watching hawks, squirrels, and crows fight in my neighbor's yard.
