Hello beautiful…

A Coopers Hawk has discovered our bird feeding station.

And while I haven’t seen the telltale sign of feathers on the ground…

It’s only a matter of time before some poor slow moving dove succumbs.

Birds of prey are glorious creatures and though witnessing an innocent death is never easy, it’s most definitely part of nature’s plan.

Not the most riveting video, but I’m sharing anyway.

As you can see we have no snow, but the wind was blowing and the hawk was puffed up against the cold.

Mid poop.

Another reason I love living in the country.

  1. They are magnificent creatures. We have two Coopers Hawks on campus. One of the deans we work with is austringer, the campus hawk…guy, lol. I’ve seen my fair share of doves meet their demise, but don’t really care when he or she’s caught a pigeon.

  2. I would say the doves will probably avoid your feeder as long as this fellow is around. To try to use it would be suicidal. Same for any red squirrels, or baby woodchucks.
    But he is magnificent. Nature is a deadly enterprize.

  3. Predators can’t help being what they are because that’s their nature — just, it seems, as with Trump and his kind (pardon the oxymoron). Some might disagree, saying humans have free will — but will human predators ever change and, if not, are they really human?

    I’m probably going off the deep end with this comment, so I’d better hightail it out of here before some extreme right wing hawk descends on me.
