  1. Are you sure that this is a Cooper's? The lack of bars on the tail and the white breast is fairly untypical. Posted 2 years ago

Cooper's hawk is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species is a member of the genus "Accipiter", sometimes referred to as true hawks, which are famously agile, relatively small hawks common to wooded habitats around the world and also the most diverse of all diurnal raptor genera.
