I got this report second hand, but I saw the cell phone photos as proof.

Thanksgiving morning an adult Red-shouldered Hawk was observed dining on
the outdoor patio of Bongo Java coffee house and restaurant on Belmont
Blvd. in Nashville. It had evidently ordered the small rodent platter
(large mouse or small rat). It was perched on the arm of a chair, not
willing to share its meal, jealously guarding it until it could gulp down
enough to fly off with the remainder as take-out.
