About Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Hawks, Eagles, Kites, and Allies
  • Family: Hawks, Eagles, and Kites

Cooper's hawk is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter. As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female. The birds found east of the Mississippi River tend to be larger on average than the birds found to the west. It is easily confused with the smaller but similar sharp-shinned hawk.
