- Deciduous and mixed forests, open woodlands, riparian corridors, and increasingly urban/suburban areas with mature trees
- Fakta menarik
- In 2024, a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study of the Accipitridae showed that Accipiter was not a natural (monophyletic) grouping, leading to the Cooper's Hawk (and the former Northern Goshawk, now American Goshawk) being moved into the resurrected genus Astur; its current name is Astur cooperii.
