I have never found Collared Dove feathers in my yard, only Morning Dove feathers, left from a kill. Both Doves are present in my yard. I have wondered about the intelligence of each Dove and I've wondered about the quickness of each Dove. The Cooper's is present in my yard at least every other day. There has been a nest about one block away. Years ago there were not as many Cooper's in the Denver area. Bird feeding [which I partake in], I believe, has changed the migration of Cooper's.

I regularly have piles of dove feather s in my yard - and know the Cooper's hawks take out some but the Sharpies are regular visitors too.

Now we have one Cooper’s Hawk and NO doves in our yard.

They appear to be either particularly attractive or particularly easy targets of Coopers.

We are constantly finding piles of Collared Dove feathers indicating a kill site Are these invaders aiding the success of our indigenous raptors? With their plump size, they make a fine meal and one that seems a bit easier to catch than other species.
