A Cooper's hawk has taken up residence in our neighborhood and frequently finds his meals in my yard.

Great picture I love all birds of prey and kept many a few years ago.

Eagle owl now living down the owl sanctuary with a new mate.

African eagle.

There are a few licensed keepers of Cooper's hawks in my area. Beautiful bird.

I've just checked and they are classified as "Least Concern" meaning they are holding their own.
