She flew away and I forgot about her. Half an hour later I came to an area where the brush on my left had been burned for a stretch of about 100 yards. At the far end of the burned area there were many birds in the brush. As I approached, several flew. Like lightening, the Cooper's came roaring from the hillside on the right and grabbed a cardinal 20 feet from me. I felt used! I was stunned at the planning that had gone into that attack.
