Had a large Cooper's Hawk chasing House Sparrows on foot, under a forsythia bush in my yard. Quite hilarious as the hawk was very eager and the sparrows seemed to have been largely unworried by the raptor as they'd just hop a few branches ahead of the hawk. Unfortunately the hawk left empty taloned. One of these days those House Sparrows will get exactly what their asking for.
