[birdky] Cooper's with sparrow

Driving up the entryway to work today at The Arboretum I saw an amazing
sight: A Cooper's Hawk had just caught a female house sparrow and was flying
with it, holding it by its back while the sparrow flapped its wings vainly
trying to escape. Chasing the hawk were a whole group of house sparrows,
maybe 10 of them. The hawk/sparrow combination looked sort of like a
surreal hang-glider!
