Domestic, flightless waddling ducks are pretty helpless prey. They may be big fluffy ducks, but a Cooper's Hawk has big, sharp talons. It would be slightly unusual for this smaller hawk to go after the big ducks, but it is possible. This hawk was really hunting sparrows this time, but the ducks would not come out from their coop corner while this predator was lurking about. Even after the hawk was gone it took some serious coaxing to get them to come out to wander in the yard again.
