A medium-sized hawk of the woodlands. Feeding mostly on birds and small mammals, the Cooper's Hawk hunts by stealth, approaching its prey through dense cover and then pouncing with a rapid, powerful flight. Of the three bird-eating Accipitrine hawks, Cooper's is the mid-sized species and the most widespread as a nesting bird south of Canada.
