I happened upon a clearly visible Cooper's Hawk nest (well, could be Sharp-Shinned, I have to check the pictures...) at Lotta and Merivale in Ottawa today.
I was shopping at LeBaron and pulling out of the parking lot when something swooped down over my car, followed seconds later by another. The second one was the female. It was carrying some prey and went right into the nest. The male perched in the tree right behind the PartsSource store and preened while the female disappeared into the nest. The nest is in a private home's backyard tree but clearly visible from the parking lot. Search "45.357136,-75.739177" on Google Maps.
