Hawks got 2.

A Cooper's Hawk will fly into smaller spaces than that...and they are agile and quick. I watched a Cooper's Hawk dive under a picnic awning at a fast food restaurant, miss table legs and other obstructions to try and get a sparrow. He missed but I am not sure how because he was like a heat seeking missile on that bird. A Cooper's Hawk(when we still lived in the city) would sit on my neighbor's mailbox and watch my bird feeders. When he was ready to strike, he was quick and gone. Beautiful raptor but deadly to birds of all kinds.

This may very well be a Cooper's hawk We live in the city, and I actually think my predator issues are far worse. Lack of hunting space brings them in close

I think it was probably a Cooper's Hawk too. They have no fear of flying into small spots. I am out in the country now and see mainly Red Tails, Red Shouldered and a few Eagles. They come almost daily and scope out my run for a few swirls overhead and then move on. I assume they see it as too much trouble with so many vast fields around. I hope. I haven't seen a Cooper's Hawk out here. No reason why there wouldn't be one though which makes me nervous because I have about a 6" x12" gap under the edge of my run and I KNOW a Coopers Hawk would have no fear about flying into that gap. I have hologram streamers dangling over it right now but I NEED to get my ladder out and fix that gap. Hubby thinks I am being silly but he hasn't seen a Cooper's Hawk in action like I have.
