Years ago before the internet a wintering Sharp-shinned Hawk in New England was filmed going through the 4" gap in a bird feeder at IIRC an estimated 45 mph. Technically these Accipiter hawks ain't all that fast out in the open, but through cover they are amazing Birdwatcher "...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them."

Stolen pic- The only Indigo Bunting I have ever seen in Nebraska got bounced off my windsheld while driving down the gravel roads, I had to stop and see what it was.

They are just damn quick Ya, but even the pros sometimes suffer injuries, IIRC this stat comes from Cornell, gets bandied around the 'net quite a bit.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper's_Hawk One study showed that this is a quite dangerous hunting style. More than 300 Cooper�s Hawk skeletons were investigated and 23% revealed healed fractures in the bones of the chest.[ Plus the larger fraction we don't see where the sternum DIDN'T heal.
