I have seen this behavior twice recently.  This afternoon a cooper's hawk dived, wings back, in to an arborvitae in my parents' yard (in Berea) that had some sparrows in it.  I then saw him sitting under the bush- don't know if he caught anything,  Saw this same thing in a yard in Portage County a few weeks ago.
