One time I was just gazing at my dog as he went down to the creek at the ranch, as he approached he panicked a covey of quail hiding in the brush and they burst out in flight; all of a sudden there was an explosion of feathers as a redtail hawk came from no where and nailed a quail in midflight. It was quite impressive
It's horrendous but gorgeous at the same time. That explosion when they hit their target with such force. If you've ever plucked a chicken you know those feathers are held in so the force required for that explosion is amazing. When they drop from a stoop they will fracture the spinal cord of their prey.
