Have you guys seen this?! Crazy! The spar actually looks over, see's the water and drags the magpie in to drown it. That's one smart bird!

I remember someone telling me they had a RT that would kill squirrels that way. I guess one day the bird landed in a small puddle and figured out that they are easier to kill that way. From then on out if the bird caught one near water the bird would drag it over to the water to kill it.

I watched a coyote drown a deer in a beaver pond. The deer wasn't full grown, but was a lot bigger than the coyote.

You can just see the sparrow hawk thinking to herself "screw this I am going to drown this bastard" Isaac
