Later that same day, Sunday, I had two more sightings of Cooper’s around my apartment. Also had Cooper’s sightings on Monday and Tuesday. While Cooper’s hawks have been breeding in Prospect Park for three years now, fall and winter is definitely a time when we see more of them. Some are passing through, others seem to take up residence before departing in the spring.
