Cooper's Hawk from Robert in Mercer County

I live in Hamilton Square in Mercer County, New Jersey. My back yard is small in a 1950's housing development. My wife and I were astounded to see what I believe to be an adult Cooper's Hawk in a tree in our back yard on the morning of 12/29/08. The hawk was actually inside a squirrel's nest and within a few minutes moved out.
