We had a cooper's hawk winter in our neighborhood for 2 years. It was like having a serial killer on the street. Gruesome bloodstains on the sidewalk, feathers, carcasses in the trees. It dropped one dismembered hunk of flesh and bones at my feet when I walked under its perch and disturbed it. It liked the collared doves best, but I saw either a cooper's or sharpshinned hit a blackbird once, I didn't note which species, perhaps a grackle.
