Description
Coopers Hawk in the Bush. This hawk had just come in quickly, attempting to capture a smaller bird from our backyard feeders. He missed out on a meal, but sat in the bush long enough for a couple of photo shots..
These hawks are routine visitors in our semi-rural area in which we live. Orange County, California. They land in our large pines on the lookout for small wild birds.
Among the bird world's most skillful fliers, Cooper's Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You're most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).
