squirrel v english house sparrow

so, i'm hard at work and minding my own biz at about 5:00 this evening, and i hear the (what seems like) million english house sparrows that are nesting in the vines outside my window making a HUGE ruckus.

hoping that there's one of the hawks that i've seen "hunting" in the vines before, i head to the window with my camera, only to see a SQUIRREL on the window ledge munching on a chick.

CA-RAZY!!

why can't there be an army of squirrels trained to hit the nests of this invasive species, and tcb? maybe someday...

anyways, over the next 1/2 hour i shot a few short vids, and took some still photos which didn't work that well since the "feast" was on the other side of a screen, but here's a representative shot:
