This is a good tip. Catch a Cooper’s hawk on a snag or perched in the open. Best to be in silhouette. If the head of the hawk is snapping about, left and right, or up and down, then it is probably a Cooper’s hawk. This hawk is probably not a goshawk. Sometimes when a goshawk is being bothered by sparrows or swallows, the hawk will be oblivious of being attacked.
This tip can be used naked-eye at a distance of up to one- hundred yards. The reason for head snapping is that a Cooper’s hawk is a very high strung hawk, very nervous. NB.
