I can't speak to the issue from personal experience, but there is a
show called Raptor Force which has run on PBS several times, which
features lots of footage of raptors as well as comparisons with the
technology of jet fighters. In this show there is footage of red-tails
in Texas catching bats on the wing. That has to display a fair degree
of aerial agility!

Subject: [cobirds] R-T Hawk predates a Cooper's
COBirders, Skot Latona’s photo of a red-taildining on a Cooper’s Hawk
with the possibility that the red-tail killedit, runs counter to my
understanding that Cooper’s are too agile to becaught by red-tails,
under normal conditions. Have I been mistaken inholding that concept,
or are some large buteos quick enough to grab amedium-sized accipiter?
