I always seem to get these guys mixed up with sharp-shinned hawks. Chime in and let me know if you think I am mistaken.

Cooper's Hawk in Evening Sun
Had a cooper's Hawk in the neighbours back yard just off of our deck tonight. It stayed for nearly an hour and was not fazed in the least by my noisy 1DX Mark II. This image taken at about 75 feet hand held at 840mm. Best viewed at full magnification.
Estuary Coopers Hawk
Here is the local juvi coopers hawk. He got flushed from a fence post and didn't realize that I was standing behind the crab apple tree when he picked it to perch on. Only got off a few shots before he flushed again.
King of The Golf Course
Got a nice image of a coopers hawk today at the Kings Links Golf Course at Boundary Bay near Ladner B.C. He was trying to hide from the terrible weather on a post situated below the road. This is a full frame image re-sampled for easier viewing. Better Viewed at full size.
After The Snow (Cooper's Hawk)
After a brief snowfall last night we had a visit from this handsome Cooper's Hawk in the maple tree out in our back yard.
