Burrowing Owl at its densite with an almost grown up chick, it was the only chick i saw...guess this pair was quite early with nesting this year, Cooper City, FL
The male cooper's just brought lunch to my rain cap which the female picked up and took up to the nest where she is feeding 5. Not looking to happy with him.
East Park Reservoir, Philadelphia PA. After being closed off for several decades, the reservoir was open for a few hours to the public today to preview the area where an educational center will be constructed later this year. There were of course plenty of birds, including this young Cooper's hawk. The overcast skies were unfortunate from a photography perspective, but I think this is actually my first passable shot of a Cooper's in flight.
On my way to the mailbox, I heard a scream and discovered this Cooper's Hawk sitting in a tree in my front yard. Dashed inside to grab the camera and managed to get a few shots before a passing car scared the raptor off.
Was already fairly dark out, even shooting wide open and with 1/640s shutter speed still resulted in an ISO of 25600. Cleaned it up with Adobe's Denoise - my first application of it. I never could use it on my old desktop as it would have taken many minutes to complete.
Here's an image taken a little earlier, cleaned up with DxO Pure RAW.
Through the Wonderful Wildlife Window and a snow flurry.
The Cooper's was hanging around the feeders waiting for lunch.
Other than the lake, which small birds seem to avoid we are one of two water sources in the park that is good for birds.
Accipiter cooperii
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

I took this photograph at the entry to Lodge Corner during the twelve lap 1950's Sports Car Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in June 1993. It's the 6-cylinder inline 3,781cc 1955 Cooper Jaguar T38 of John Pearson, chassis CJ-3-55, one of three cars built by Cooper for endurance sports car racing. One of the cars competed in the 1955 Le Mans 24 Hour race, but retired after 4 hours with an oil leak.
Cooper's youngster in a mesquite tree. Click to enlarge. One of 3 almost-ready youngsters still hanging around their nest. Mom and Dad visit our yard for water a couple times a day but so far none of the kids have flown that far. Taken w/a 1.4 extender. Many more Cooper's in PhotoStream and/or Raptors album.
A week after I first saw the Cooper's with nesting material, I finally found his nest. He was still working on it & I was able to follow him when he flew by with a stick. The nest is very high at the top of a large tree and hard to see. Not a great spot for photography. He is in the nest here and arranging that latest stick. Shaping up to be a large nest.

Male Cooper's Hawk from my backyard yesterday. I find it ironic I traveled a county over to get a mated pair and here one pops up and cooperates. YAasss!

Click to enlarge. This young Cooper's Hawk has visited our small yard 8 days in a row now; this photo was taken from about 10 feet. He doesn't seem concerned as long as are no sudden moves or any nearby loud noises. Once he tucked his head and took a nap in the shade! He stays on or near a water dish and/or the water feature for up to an hour w/o moving and usually standing on only one leg. He can also see us through 2 sliding glass doors but doesn't seem concerned. Near Tucson, Arizona in the Sonoran Desert. More hawk and raptor photos in PhotoStream and/or Raptors album.

Taking nature's path in Montague (Michigan) brought about an extra special visitor. I think he was just as curious about us as we him. Although considered juvenile, this Cooper's Hawk proved to be larger than expected. One of Michigan's raptors is quite the sight to behold.
Coopers of Killamarsh brighten up any day. Former Redwing Mercedes Benz Tourismo BU16 GZS, now CT53 JCS, was in Brighton on 2nd May, 2023.
I believe this is a Coopers Hawk, but I always get confused, between this and a Sharp-Shinned.
I was a bit surprised to see this bird pretty close, and not get scared off. I moved in a little closer and got some shots. Then soon after it suddenly took off, and dove at the water. I am not sure what it got exactly (I think maybe a bufflehead!..), but it basically drowned another bird, and sat in the water for maybe 5 min. Then it suddenly took off, with the carcus into the bushes.

This Cooper's hawk had found a house sparrow in the pile of sticks. After about 10 minutes, the hawk flushed the house sparrow out. The house sparrow flew off quickly with the Cooper's hawk in hot pursuit.
Este gavilán de Cooper había encontrado un gorrión doméstico en la pila de ramas muertas. Después de unos 10 minutos, el gavilán hizo salir al gorrión. El gorrión doméstico huyó rápidamente y el gavilán de Cooper lo perseguía pisándole los talones.
