[Charles Crawford <cr4d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About a month ago I saw the same thing.  A hawk, again I assume a 
sharpie, dove into the top of my burning bush. The bush is bout 12 feet 
tall and 15 wide and full of leaves. It disappeared completely. 
Sparrows flew out like mad. It worked its way down in the bush and 
eventually the hawk appeared under the bush on the ground - sat there 
for maybe 30 seconds - the flew up into my red maple - then left the 
area.
