We recently had a similar problem with Cooper's Hawk near my mother-in-laws  
where I typically take pix of birds. Fortunately, or unfortunately, three blue 
 jays teamed up on the Coopers Hawk and attacked him as he got closer. I 
heard  the vicious assault but only got my camera up in time to catch the 
fleeing  
hawk. Since then, I have not seen any blue jays near my usual viewing spot 
and  the coopers hawk typically stays a little more than a half mile away and 
doesn't  get closer.
On another note about hawks, on Saturday I saw 3 hawks in a three mile span  
along the new Highway 79 from the area where the coopers hawk usually hangs 
near  the bi-county landfill out down towards Stewart county. They all look 
pretty  much the same and I am trying to make a determination of which bird it 
is..  because it was not the coopers hawk near the landfill.
Also, on Sunday, I saw the eagle at Fort Donelson sitting on its nest while  
staring at the 10 people with cameras trained on it. It moved around alot, but 
 mainly stared toward the entrance and didn't pay much attention tot he crowd 
to  its north. I was there once when an eagle flew in from the north right 
around  the end of the day. There was another eagle on the nest at the time.
