"Large number of American Goldfinches at DeKorte were unfortunately noticed by local Cooper's Hawks (above).
"These hawks can be seen hunting for them daily, allowing really close looks of their skillful aerobatics.
"Also, we saw a Gray Ghost (below) multiple times on Monday. At one point he was flying away with prey, possible American Goldfinch as well."
(Thanks, Greg!) 
A bunch of us witnessed a coopers hawk on Sunday snatch a goldfinch mid-air, about 20 feet in front of us. It was very impressive.
We’ve also seen kestrels and harriers make passes at the goldfinches along Disposal Road.
