Yes, Sharp-shinned hawks and Coopers hawks hunt in forested areas. They also eat their prey on the ground. I don't know their full range, but I know we have them on upstate PA.We have hawks all day long every day of the year. Big hawks, small hawks. The small hawks will hunt in the woods and in and under trees and bushes. We lost one hen to a hawk attack, before our dog knew they were a problem. Haven’t had an issue since - they are out all day mist every day, but never without our dog guarding them. Well trained dogs are absolutely essential for keeping livestock (or pets) safe.
