Chirping
I agree. Really hard to tell Sharp shinned from young Coopers. It may just be a Coopers, but from the brief look we got we figured it was a Sharpie. The reason we figured Sharp shinned was that they were working in a pair. I didn't think a immature Coopers hawk wold be paired up yet. Either way, both thrive in the Boreal Forest where I am in Northern Ontario. Had one here last week in the Winter at -20c. I think it was scared off by the giant tom turkey.
We also have a pair of Bald Eagles nesting in the next bay over on the lake. I am sure that one day I will lose a Muscovy. The ducks tend to march down in the morning and spend the day on the lake visiting neighbours before they come home to roost. We also have a pair of Osprey that are nesting on my bay. Not worried about them but they sure are beautiful.
