Details for free-living Cooper’s hawks for which the oral microbiome was sampled in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Thirty-four individuals were sampled, but high-quality DNA extractions were obtained for 31 individuals (listed here). Information for each individual includes the US Fish and Wildlife Service identification number (USFWS ID), sex, age class, capture date, capture location, capture method, diameter of the metatarsus, and the number of operational taxonomic units (OTU) of bacteria recorded from swabs of the palate and tongue. NA, not applicable: individuals were too young to have been assigned a USFWS ID, identified to sex, or measured for metatarsus diameter. Asterisk indicates one individual excluded from richness and community analyses due to low bacterial richness
