"I’ve never been a fan of fake owls.  They rarely do the intended purpose of “scaringâ€� birds away. Birds either figure out that they are fake or it can attract crows…or the occasionally very dense Cooper’s hawk..."

Cooper's Hawk attacks Owl.

This is hilarious!!!  The Coop looks right at it and vocalizes!

That is one brave little Coopers Hawk! 

[dale]

that is really, really funny.
I wouldn't call it an "attack," however. If nagging could melt plastic, that owl would be a wet spot on the fence.

Too funny Thanks for the giggle of the day!

I like how you can hear a cardinal and other songbirds in the first part of the video until they probably realized they were hearing a hawk close by. Quite an entertaining video Ei thanks.

No idea...this is the poster's description...

" 'Just listen to me!' said Sharp-Shinned Hawk to Great Horned Owl (was the title of this video until I was corrected by Matt the birder, Thanks Matt). It was filmed in the back alley behind our house. The birds were nesting and had two healthy chicks which they are now teaching to fly. They really hated the plastic owl and attacked it many times daily until the owl was removed."
