Hawks are a commanding presence wherever they are found, and this video makes that clear. The Cooper's Hawks are common throughout most of North America. They keep to themselves and are often not seen, but are present in many places, even cities. If birds have suddenly stopped coming to your bird feeders, there may be a Cooper's Hawk watching it. The babies grow to full size over about a month. Each one requires about 60 robin-sized birds to do this, keeping the parents very busy. Bird populations have withstood this hunting pressure for millions of years, as these beautiful and stately raptors have become a part of the natural order. I think you will agree that these birds deserve your respect and curiosity.
