If you like watching majestic creatures soar through the sky, Cooper’s hawk is an excellent choice for you. With a classic accipiter shape, Cooper’s hawk is often seen spreading its broad round wings across the deep forests of North America. You can also find them in any place with an abundance of leaves or even in backyards. Similar to its peers, Cooper’s hawk flies in a flap-flap-glide pattern, which only adds to its impressive appearance. Plunging to the ground and up again over an obstacle to surprise their food, they usually attack their prey like an epic movie. Perched on a tree, their bodies glow like dying coal leaving their marks, and it's blanketed by blue-gray feathers reaching to their sharp head like a hunter’s cloak.

The male Cooper’s hawk usually has a length of 14.6-15.3 in (37-39 cm) and a weight of 7.8-14.5 oz (220-410 g), while the female appears larger with a length of 16.5-17.7 in (42-45 cm) and weight of 11.6-24.0 oz (330-680 g). However, once they start flying they’ll leave in awe as their wings are twice the size of their body or even more!
