Title: Fake Owl vs Coopers Hawk
Post by: Napper on November 26, 2013, 05:55:09 PM

Found this on Youtube.

Thought it might be informative. You get to hear the  "Coopers Hawk" I am sure some have  never heard one.

Napper :)

p.s. I haven't seen a "Coopers" yet this Fall. A bit unusual.

First time hearing one call, thanks for sharing.

That is one stressed Cooper's.
"My" Coops don't make that initial screech much, if at all.  And there's usually just one call, not a series.
I more often hear the nest "password" (the male's call to his partner on the nest) and later, the chick begging calls.
allaboutbirds has samples.
