Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii)

During a walk around the park, this small raptor landed in a pine tree behind me.

A rather small bird of prey is perched in a pine tree. It has a white and orange mottled body, brown wings, and piercing orange-red eyes.

A Cooper's hawk shows off their camouflage. Unfortunately, their calls give their location away. #NeighborhoodBirds #CoopersHawk #birding #HawkPants

Cooper's Hawk- Remember the 'white aliens' of 2020? 👽 For this week’s Flashback Friday, we’re revisiting John Garbutt’s wonderful chronicle of a Cooper’s Hawk family—from incubation to the surprise discovery of 'Thing 5.' It’s a beautiful reminder of the magic we find when we slow down and observe. Birding #blacklandprairie #blacklandprairiechapter #CoopersHawk #TexasMasterNaturalist

I was wondering where the little birdies had gone!

a Cooper’s Hawk on a branch, its red eye penetrating and fierce.

A Cooper's Hawk showed up in our backyard yesterday morning looking for breakfast, which turned out to be a White-winged dove

While we were having breakfast this morning. A Coopers Hawk #coopershawk swooped down to one of our feeders and snagged a Carolina Wren #carolinawren that was sunning itself.

a raptor’s feathers are blown out of whack

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: a Cooper's Hawk taking flight

This Cooper's Hawk is about 20 feet from the Cooper's I saw yesterday. Seems likely that it is the same bird, but I can't tell one from another.

#bird #birdphotography #coopershawk

Bird with brown streaky breast, brown chevron patterns on the open wing, and a very sharp bill. One foot is on a power cable, the other is in the air. One wing is fully open, the other is blurred by motion.

Teardrop pattern on the breast indicates a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk.

My Kingdom

A few autumns ago, in the morning rain, this hawk appeared in the oak tree just beyond my backyard fence. I first tried photographing it through the storm door, but a veil of leaves obscured its head. So I improvised—a quick waterproof cover for my camera—and stepped out into the rain to bear witness properly. Based on its size, I believe it’s a Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii), though it could be a Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus). The resemblance between the two is uncanny—this is a sovereign guess, not a definitive ID.

"Perched with quiet authority on a lichen-dappled branch, the Cooper’s Hawk surveys its domain with piercing red eyes that seem to burn through the amber hush of fall. Its chest is cloaked in fine horizontal barring—rust and cream etched like ceremonial armor—while its head bears a dark cap, sleek and regal, as if donned for a rite of passage. The hooked beak curves downward in silent readiness, a symbol of precision and power.

The branch beneath it is mottled with pale green lichen, like ancestral script etched into wood. Behind the hawk, the background blazes with autumn’s palette—leaves in fiery reds and soft oranges blur into a painterly wash, framing the bird in seasonal reverence. The hawk’s posture is alert yet composed, talons gripping the branch with sovereign steadiness, as if guarding a mythic threshold between forest and sky.

This is no casual perch—it’s a vigil. A moment suspended in amber light, where predator and season meet in ceremonial stillness." - Microsoft Copilot
