An hour ago I saw a Cooper’s Hawk bring down a pigeon in my yard near my feeders.
It then hovered/tented over its freshly killed pigeon (hard to be positive, but large pink feet & gray body seen, plus I regularly have ~50 pigeons eating here). It ate a bit & picked off some feathers, while being scolded by Crows & Chickadees. Then it flew away with the carcass, leaving blood on the snow. -Donna <IMG_4014.jpg> Donna Scott Kendal at Ithaca-377 Sent from my iPhone -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
