Cooper’s Hawk
Scientific: Accipiter cooperii
Norwegian: Trostehauk
The Cooper's Hawk is known for its skillful flying. It is around
15 inches and lives near woodlands. It may live in the area all
year. They build their nest in trees, which is built by the male and
he cares for feeding the young. The male is much smaller than the
female. They eat birds and small mammals. The Cooper's Hawk captures
its prey with its feet and kills it by
squeezing.
The Sharp-shinned Hawk looks very similar, it is just smaller and
has thinner legs.
