Cooper's in the news

[edit]

Trouble with my account...Anyhoo I recall reading upon a news article that talked about the cooper's hawk killing pigeons at a home depot. Could anyone dig up this story and provide a link?--68.161.121.166 00:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison with Sharp-shinned Hawk

[edit]

I added this image as a comparison on the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned pages. The originals show the difference in shape of the tail well, but were not done to scale, so I re-sized the Sharp-shinned to be somewhat smaller than the Cooper's. They are real variable, I understand, with the female Sharp-shinned very close in size to a male Cooper's. I think this adds something to the pages, but I don't intend this to be any sort of exact scientific statement.

I noticed on the images you were referring to, that the Sharp-shinned hawk has a different posture. Is that typical? Is that something I can use to determine the Cooper's from the Sharp shinned? We've been watching one for months in our backyard. He finally killed a dove right in front of me but we can't be sure which one it is.
