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. K.
