Does anyone know of or have a record of a Cooper's Hawk nest in west Tennessee north of Jackson? I am preparing a note for "The Migrant" about the Cooper's Hawks that nested in my yard, and I am wondering if this is the first documented Cooper's Hawk nest in northwest Tennessee. I am aware of documented west Tennessee nests in Shelby Co. (well described by Susan McWherter) and Henderson Co., but neither of these was in the northwest part of the state. Like other observers in west Tennessee, I have seen an increase in the number of Cooper's Hawks during the nesting season, but other than the pair in my yard, I have not succeeded in finding active nests.
