We likely had a Cooper's Hawk in our yard this afternoon, too! We
never saw it, but the chickadee sat frozen in an awkward pose on the
feeder for quite some time, I think the Cooper's was somewhere in the
trees!

While I was counting birds at my feeder for Project FeederWatch, an adult COOPER'S HAWK barreled in and took a Mourning Dove, briefly held it on the rocks and then took off with it.
