Well, now it's time to build up the winter
frame to accommodate the taller pots, and a helper shows up. "Need some
help?", he asks. Actually, he has an ulterior motive. He's just
missed being dinner for a Cooper's hawk and has dived into the frame for
protection. His buddy, a grey squirrel, climbed the cherry tree where the
hawk was sitting, just above the winter frame, and gave it a hard
time for a full 10 minutes. (I couldn't get photos of this encounter
because it would have spooked the hawk, but it was really interesting. The
squirrel was only about 3 feet from the hawk and was the aggressor. The
hawk kept shuffling his stance, but refused to give ground.) Finally,
the hawk gave up and flew away. --
