Are Cooper's Hawk populations increasing in Miami? I have seen the bird this year and last year a number of times in the Kendall area but never before that. Yesterday a house sparrow almost flung itself into the wall of a school to escape a pursuing Cooper's and was eventually caught. Five minutes ago I just saw a Mourning Dove with a Coooper's in hot pursuit of it. (Both sightings in Kendall). With the abundance of Collared Doves and Starlings in the area I guess there is a lot to eat but I always considered it a woodland bird.
