COOPER'S HAWK
Accipter cooperO

Length, about fifteen inches. Me-
dunn sized, with long tail and short
wings. and without the white patch
on rump which is characteristic OF
the marsh hawk.
Range: Breeds throughout most Of
the United States and southern Can,
ada; winters from the United States
to Costa Rica.
Habits and economic status; The
CoOper's hawk, or blue darter," as
Il is Familiarity known throughout the
South, Is pre-eminently a poultry and
Indicating species, and its destructive
ness IN this direction is surpassed
only by that Of its larger cOngsnef,
the goshawk, which occasionally in
autumn and winter enters the United
States from the North in great num-
bers. The almost universal prejudice
against birds OF prey is largely due 10
the activities Of these two birds, as
sisted By a third. the sharp-shinned
hawk. which n habits and appearance
might well pass for q small Coopera
hawk. These birds usually approach
under coyer and drop upon unsaspect'
ing victims, making great infJads
upon poultry yards and game coverts
favorably situated for this style OF
hunting. Out Of 1913 stomachs exaa,
ined. 80 contained the remains OF
mammals Twenty-eight species Of
wild birds were Identified IN the above
mentioned material. This destructive
hawk. together with It's two near rela-
tives. should be destroyed BY every
possible means.
