The shutter is usually not a problem, although they'll react to it and look more intensely at me occasionally. Once, I shot with a guy using a Nikon that would beep loudly when it grabbed AF. We had to turn that off because it was spooking everything.
This bird would have probably flown out of my range after I kicked it up walking through the brush, but there was a pheasant down on the ground to my right, unknown to me. The hunt had not been given up and the hawk was mad at me and even vocalized. The hawk flew to another nearby tree and as I moved to get a shot of that, I kicked up the pheasant and the Coopers gave chase. Alas, they were so close and too fast so couldn't get focused.
