Uninvited guest joins family dinner

By LOU WHEELAND

Special to The Press

This photographer’s wife was surprised to find an uninvited guest joining us for an evening dinner recently.

The bird appears to be a Cooper’s hawk taking advantage of the squirrels that gather under a bird feeder in the front yard.

We do not live in rural Lehigh County, but in South Whitehall’s Parkway Manor.

Bracketed by Broadway and Tilghman Street, one wonders why a hawk would be so close in a busy suburb.

This Cooper's hawk caught a hapless squirrel on Windsor Drive, South Whitehall. The hawk seemed oblivious to this photographer except when he approached within 6 feet. PRESS PHOTO BY LOU WHEELAND
