lol, the Cooper’s Hawks would definitely keep me busy in the moments the Red-tails are away. They fly so fast and in such swoopy, winding paths through the trees. 🙂

I wonder if there are two and they’re trying to establish a territory to breed in – wouldn’t that be cool! We would just keep you photographing day and night! 😀

Thanks, Sarah. Don’t worry! The Cooper’s Hawks are benign in relation to the Red-tails and cause them no trouble. The Red-tailed Hawks chase out any raptor they don’t want in their territory quite handily.

We have a Cooper’s Hawk on West 95th Street just off the Park. We are hoping it controls the pigeon and rat problems we are having. These raptors are magnificent.
