  I’m confused by the small size of the Cooper in the photo. I have what I thought was a Cooper in my yard but it is easily 3x bigger than the one on the left. I’ve seen it carrying an adult squirrel (struggling but it still made the flight).

  What hawk looks like a Cooper but is 3x bigger? Isn’t the other name for a Cooper, Chicken Hawk?

    Maybe a red-shoulder hawk? They look similar, but with… red shoulders.

      Yes, it must be a red shouldered hawk. I assumed Cooper Hawks were bigger because of the name “Chicken Hawk”. The hawk in that photo couldn’t steal a chicken.

    WHere do you live? I know in the western US, we have lots of hawks that are notably larger than either of these two (but then, I’m not an ornithologist, or even a real bird-watcher, so who knows)

    That was my first thought too. This Cooper’s Hawk is way too small.

    Turns out (according to Wikipedia) their adult size can vary a lot depending on location and mystery factors, from 14”-20”. The ones I see around here are def closer to 20 than 14, and the sharp shinned hawks are relatively small and slender.

    In highschool, we had an ornithologist that would set up birding nets to band songbirds, and stuff. Or biology teacher would always give him time if he got something interesting.

    Anyhow, of particular memory, there was a black capped chickadee that the teacher wanted a good photo of- so the ornithologist held the bird by the legs (kind of like he was perched on the back of his hand?). The tiny thing immediately began hammer drilling his knuckles. Drew blood.

    Another time, a cardinal took a hefty chunk out of the soft bits near his thumb. But, uh, it was the Canada geese he was afraid of….
