Today while crayfish trapping I saw a cooper's hawk, so that's what I'm going to write about.
Cooper's hawks have blue-gray backs and "caps" with black bars on the tail, a white belly and chest, and scarlet eyes. The underparts also have many reddish brown bars. They have a predatory sharp beak and claws. They live in North America from Central America to southern Canada.
Cooper's hawks eat smaller birds and live in places with trees. They hunt and fly in the trees and under the foliage. They have very sharp eyes to allow them to hunt easily. They live up to 12 years in the wild.
