However we do have a red tailed hawk that likes sitting on top of the bird feeder in front of the kitchen window. When he is out there none of the other birds will come around. I'm not sure if he would eat the other birds. I think he is after the rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks that are also attracted to the bird feeder.

I raise chickens and have caught then released 5 black rat snakes in less than a month. They LOVE chicken eggs. Funny thing is, from a visual inspection there was 4 females and 1 male. The male was the biggest being over 6ft. I ended up having to release them at an old farm out in the middle of nowhere.
