Well it was people that didn't really know any better, but i wanted to be sure since i am doing a presentation on it. How embarrassing would it be to do a presentation on it, and it turns out to be wrong.But wow thanks a lot i really appreciate it. The class is called biology for naturalists, and i really enjoy it. The area i live in is on the St. Lawrence River but specifically in a huge wetland area in Akwesasne, an Indian reservation that straddles the U.S. Canadian border, so i am sure to have many more pictures of better quality to show soon. Again thanks.

Some do work as a team. One perches in a tree a little ways off while the other flushes out the birds from cover. The perched hawk will fly at the panicked songbirds and usually get one on the wing. There are also reports of them working together to flush birds and drive them into glass windows but I don't think this method is very common. I would guess the birds panicked and just flew into the glass while rushing to escape. These hawks are loathsome. If you feed, you may want to relocate the feeders to a covered area near a brush pile or inside a hedge. It wont stop the hawks but it may make it harder for them to catch a bird. And you really need to feed at least 30 feet away from any glass or within 3 feet of glass. This drastically cuts down on window collisions.

Looks like it might be a Sedum tetractinum.
