Description

These 2 species nested within 0.25 miles of each other. Whenever a member of the eagle pair encroached too closely upon the territory of the Cooper’s Hawks there was instant harassment which lasted a few minutes until the eagle exited the disputed space. There was often a great deal of interspecies vocalization, not likely suitable for a family viewing audience.
