Cooper’s Hawk

Ever feel like you just don’t know where the weekend went? I’m not a big fan of Monday’s, having to get up early, having to go to work, yuk!!! This Cooper’s Hawk is very similar to the Sharp-shin hawk, though there are a few ways to tell them apart. The Cooper’s is a bit larger with a bigger head and thicker tail and legs, but the way that I can tell them apart is that it has a rounded tail where the Sharp-shin’s tail looks squared off… There diet consists mostly of birds and small mammals. I see them sitting in the trees above my feeders, just waiting for a unsuspecting bird to come along…
