Cooper's Hawk - Accipiter cooperii
This is Archer. He sustained a permanent wing injury after flying into a window.
He cannot be released into the wild, and is now an educational ambassador for Christine’s Critters, which is a non-profit group that rehabilitates birds of prey.
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.
