A couple weeks ago, a small hawk caught and killed a small bird just off the porch in our back yard. After a bit of research, I think it was a Cooper’s hawk.
Unfortunately, by the time, I got outside to get some closer pictures, the hawk had already flown away with its meal.

Cooper’s hawks mainly eat small birds caught in flight and the hawks are too small to seriously bother our chickens.
