A buddy saw a Cooper kill a squirrel a few years back.

Dive bombed it in a leaf pile and must of gotten it's claws on its head and throat and just squeezed it to death. Lots of wrastling and thrashing went on for 10 minutes but that bird never let go and somehow flew off with that thing.

They aren't huge by any means but they have a pretty big wing span. They love to nail doves for sure. And I hear they don't use sauce either.
