Status: Least Concern. Global population: 700,000 adult individuals. Cooper's Hawk populations have been roughly stable from 1966-2010. Partners in Flight estimates 8% breeding in Canada, 89% spending some part of the year in the United States, and 22%t in Mexico. Cooper’s Hawk positive population trends are a turnaround from the mid-twentieth century, when use of the pesticide DDT and widespread shooting greatly reduced their numbers.
