This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. Rob Beschizza at Boing Boing.net got to see a Juvenile Female Cooper’s Hawk doing it’s work on a recently caught Pigeon!
The Cooper’s Hawk is almost exclusively a bird eating bird, so much so that Male Cooper’s hawks have to watch out for the females. In birds of prey, the male is often smaller than the female, and in Cooper’s Hawks, the male is small enough that the female could call him lunch if he isn’t careful.
If you have a couple minutes to spare, check out a section of the video. If you have 15 minutes to spare, definitely watch the whole thing.
