Phil,
Cool! That block is already complete and you also already confirmed Cooper's
Hawk, so I would not worry about it.

VA Birders: I walked one of my bluebird trials this afternoon to see if any of
the boxes needed to be repaired or replaced before the start of the season. At
the end of my walk I heard what at first I thought was a Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker, but then I found the source of the vocalization: an Accipiter. I was
able to get a recording with my phone of what I thought was a Sharp-shinned. I
uploaded the recording to eBird and looked at the sonogram. It turned out to be
a Cooper’s Hawk. Looking at Nathan Pieplow’s Perterson Field Guide to Bird
Sounds of Eastern North America: page 202, "Nasal… down slurred… often doubled,
unlike sapsucker. Mostly Jan. -June, by breeding females… some versions are
clear Mews like sapsucker’s.” The link to the eBird list is below, if you care
to listen.

So, what breeding code do I use?! Thanks,Phil
