It’s hard to watch, but alas… hawks get hungry too.

And since mourning doves are plentiful in our backyard, not to mention slow….

.
This is happening quite often.

It’s the circle of life.

Everyone has to eat.

Life lives on life, there is no way around it. We humans seem to think we can control what we eat (I absolutely try to eat nothing that was born wild, and if I could I would only eat fruits snd nuts because nothing has to die to harvest them) but really, we get our nourishment from the bodies of dead things that were once living. We have no choice. Something has to die in order for another thing to live, unless you are a plankton.

It’s hard to watch, but the hawk is part of the natural order and therefore beautiful.

I’m sure they prefer unwoke. Sleeping prey is easier to catch…

LOL! Maybe PETA should get involved. Those Doves had little Doves to take care of.

There are Swainson’s Hawks here on campus, I’ve had the displeasure of seeing them at lunch eating their prey of pigeons. The pigeons here are as slow as the mourning doves, but just as plump.

Mmm… pigeons are bigger, hence better. Never heard of a Swainson hawk.
Off to look that up..

Hawks are born predators.
Humans, I think, are not.
Some become predators,
And we get what we got.
If we could beget better,
Would it better our bitter lot?
Or a word that works such magic?
If so, what is the bon mot?
