Spotted
Cooper's Hawk is a medium-sized North American raptor, known for its long tail and rounded wings. It is a skilled hunter of medium-sized birds and small mammals, often found in woodlands and suburban areas.
Where to spot
Widespread across North America, breeding in forested regions and migrating south for winter. Found in woodlands, forests, and increasingly, suburban and urban areas.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic 'flap-flap-glide' flight pattern. Its long, rounded tail with distinct bands is a key identification feature. Often seen ambushing feeders in suburban areas.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. Best observed during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) migration, or year-round in its breeding and wintering grounds.
This hawk has remarkably keen eyesight, allowing it to spot prey from a distance and navigate intricate woodland environments with precision during a high-speed chase.
