Happened to catch a burst of activity in a forsythia bush in my yard. First thought it was a cat snagging House Sparrows, but when I got around to looking properly found that it was in fact a Cooper's Hawk that had rushed the forsythia bush and I think may have caught one of the House Sparrows, as it seemed to be looking for a body for several minutes but then flushed by someone walking by.
I've been kinda waiting for something like this to happen for a while so cool!
