	SDNHM Focus on Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawk
		The head of Cooper's Hawk is slightly larger in proportion to the bird's body, the Sharp-shin's smaller.
		For decades Cooper's Hawks were regarded as "chicken hawks" and persecuted as predators of poultry.
		On the east side of the mountains Cooper's Hawks nest in the few canyons that support significant riparian woodland, such as Alder Canyon (C11), where Paul Jorgensen found a used nest on 20 June 2001, and San Felipe Creek near Scissors Crossing (J22), where Mark Jorgensen found a nest with nestlings on 28 June 2000.

		The avifauna includeamong the birds of preythe red-shouldered hawk, red-tailed hawk, marsh hawk, Coopers hawk, sharp-shinned hawk and sparrow hawk; the great horned owl, the barn owl and the screech owl; and bald eagles are not uncommon in the mountainous regions along the larger rivers.
		In the mountain region and in the vicinity of Lake Erie there is often a fall of several inches of snow during the winter months and the rapid melting of this produces floods on the Delaware, Susquehanna and Ohio rivers and some of their tributaries.
		The prevailing winds are westerly, but they are frequently interrupted by warm breezes from the south, or moisture-bearing currents from the east.

	Postings from Ohio Birds: 11 - 16 Dec. 2003
		Cooper's Hawk, as noted before, are more of a forest edge bird, often seen dodging about from one fragmented grouping of trees to another.
		In contrast, it appears that Cooper's Hawks may be more of a 'patroling' type species; moving about from backyard to backyard, edge to edge, etc. In this manner, it may be assumed that Cooper's would then be the more often observed species...being more obvious to the observer.
		Cooper's Hawk is a more frequently reported breeder end is more adapted to forest fragmentation.

		The fish hawk is the osprey; the marsh hawk is a harrier; the mosquito hawk is a kite; Cooper’s hawk is an accipiter; Harris’ hawk is a buteonine, a hawk closely related to buteos but put in a different genus; the duck hawk is a falcon; and the rough-legged hawk is a buteo!
		Furthermore, she gives these two species’ common names as “red-tailed buzzard” and “ferruginous buzzard.” She includes under the heading “hawks” only the species we would classify as accipiters: The Old World sparrowhawk, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper’s hawk and goshawk.
		Thus the peregrine falcon was formerly known as the duck hawk, the merlin was the pigeon hawk and the American kestrel was (and to some people still is) the sparrowhawk.
