Today, I observed a Cooper Hawk (male) catch and kill a Robin. Its the largest prey cought that I observed. To kill his prey, the Cooper, with his prey clutched in his talans, went up in the air a couple feet and fell to the ground. He did this at least a half a dozen times before the prey was dead. Than he proceded to eat his meal.
