The other day I was looking out the window when I saw this in our backyard. This would explain why the bird feeder was still full when we got back home from our trip. I also noticed that one of the dove pairs that practically lives in our backyard is missing his (or her) mate. Being that this hawk, a Cooper's hawk to be exact, loves to eat doves I am fairly certain I know what happened even though there is no feather evidence. I know it is in their nature to be preyed on, but I don't like it when hawks, cats, or other things manage to get a hold of one of the birds for dinner. I guess I feel like I set them up to be eaten since I attract them to my yard with food and water.
