For those with birdfeeders: this species tends to specialize in catching squirrels+snakes rather than songbirds (which the Accipter genus preys on more often). I've never seen it bother my squirrel-proof birdfeeding station. Still, I believe all birdfeeders should be located near some evergreen source of cover so the birds which have been unnaturally concentrated have a place to hide/a fighting chance.
