Cooper’s hawks consume largely other birds, but they will also hunt squirrels, rabbits, and rodents if prey is available.
Unlike other raptors that capture their victims and bite their heads off, the Cooper’s hawk squeezes its prey with its powerful talons repeatedly.
For ages, Goshawks have been employed to hunt live prey such as rabbits, pheasants, and other animals. This Bird of Prey is the Ultimate Hunting Bird due to its exceptional agility, speed, and razor keen eyesight.
Enjoy this film of a Goshawk hunting a jack Rabbit, one of nature’s most dramatic hunting moments.
Birds of Prey are awesome, thanks for the vid, The Falconry Brother.
