Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)

Observer

Date

March 2022

Description

I don’t know any details or if the (currently private) land has already been sold or rezoned, but I’ve heard that this area will be developed.

A pair with nest (photos of only one bird, but audio has both male and female — listen closely at the end to hear the second bird much further in the distance).

Photos are out of timeline order — Actual happenings:

Unseen mate (presumed male) calls a longer Cooper’s call in the distance — audible but definitely not close. Close Cooper’s hawk (presumed female) flies to a branch near where I’ve seen them eating in the past (assuming same pair at this nest area), and answers with multiple, spaced-out singular calls. Presumed male calls with another longer call, still in distance. Presumed female seems indifferent to my presence until the 1st click of the shutter (3rd photo). Hawk then turns around (2nd photo) and flies to nest. I hear the long call in the distance again. I snap a couple to show nest occupant and leave, so as to not disturb any further. Based on her behavior, I was hoping he had food for her after I left... but I am careful to make my time short and cannot stay to find out. Uploaded audio only includes part of what I heard/observed — 2 from her, and 1 from him.
