This female Cooper’s HawkAccipiter cooperii was photographed at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey north of Orlando. Its closest look-alike is the Sharp-shinned Hawk. The Cooper’s Hawk is the larger of the two. The best distinguishing feature between the two is the shape and still wing beats of the Cooper’s Hawk compared to the shape and quick snappy wing beats of the Sharp-shinned Hawk. Both have a range throughout the U.S.
