[EBB Sightings] Requesting adult Coop sightings

Dear Bird Colleagues:

 

The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory is starting its eighth season of
Cooper's Hawk nest monitoring on the west slope of the East Bay.   Any
sightings of adult Cooper's Hawks, or suspected nesting Coops from
Richmond-El Cerrito south through Alameda and Oakland - for now through
mid-July -- would be deeply appreciated.  Please email any notes to me
at afish at parksconservancy.org 

 

All nest sites will be kept confidential.  The data will be used to
learn and corroborate long-term population trends on Cooper's Hawks, as
well as to investigate impacts on hawks by people, tree-trimming,
rodenticides, Raccoons, Great Horned Owls, etc., and larger ecological
trends.  For more information on the East Bay Cooper's Hawk Intensive
Nesting Survey (CHINS), download our 2002-2003 CHINS Report at
