Cooper's hawks are attracted to my feeder because of the concentration of food. The food of choice of course are the birds not the seeds.

Added some texture for this portrait! A bird expert said maybe over age 2yrs. Outer texture is my own, softening texture from Anna Lenabem.
a cooperative hawk. I took a few hundred photos, most from 6 to 10 feet. If I tried, I might have been able to pet him. The cactus perch is ocotillo. Usually hawks fly when I open the door. Last night he caught a quail by my door. However, he wasn't strong enough to fly off with the quail. I sat on the ground 10 feet away for over an hour. I think his hunger was stronger than his fear. And I think he knew I was not a threat from the quiet time we spent together
Spotted this immature Cooper's Hawk perched near a trail in the RBG Cootes Paradise Sanctuary, Hamilton, Ontario.

Dining on a Gamble's quail by my kitchen door. He plucked the quail, ate 1/3 of him and left the carcass on my favorite chair. I cleaned up the mess not realizing he would return the next morning for breakfast. I'll know better next time.
A pair of Cooper's Hawks were busy flying to various trees and trying to extract some twigs. They were then flying back to another tree that was being used to build a nest. It was quite a neat experience and they let me get a bunch of images while they worked on their material gathering.

I caught one of our resident hawks in our neigbor's tree, irritating the local blue jays. Glendale, Missouri
Cooper's Hawk. This hawk hunts around our neighborhood. He chased a pigeon into one of our windows, killing it instantly. He was not leaving without that pigeon, so he let me get unusually close to take some pictures.
Sunset seen from our camp by the Cooper Creek at Innamincka, South Australia. It was enough to make us stay for another day.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
Great to see the Cooper's Hawks back in our river valley, however the small birds, chipmunks and squirrels definitely wouldn't agree !!
This Coopers Hawk has discovered that my yard is easy pickings for lunch and dinner. However, since he was looking for his fast food every day, he scared off most of my birds. It took about a month to see the regulars at the bird feeder again. I actually started to feel sorry for this hawk. He would show up multiple times in one day and would even hang out for a while. This hawk must've been very hungry. Eventually he moved on
