Oh my. What pretty feathers. I wonder who they belong to? I know the hawks have to make a living but I always feel so sorry for their prey. There was a big hawk in our garden this week. Even the squirrels went into hiding.
Hi Lisa, The pretty feathers are from a juvenile collared dove. It was sitting in the ornamental cherry tree when it was taken. The sparrow hawk is a regular visitor to the garden.
We can tell when all the bird feeders are empty and a few birds are clinging to the side of the trees. The hawks are not so successful here because of the woods but still they do occasionally take a small bird. I know it's the cycle of life but still...
Hello Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThat so sad...poor little bird.
We have many Hawks in our area.
Have a relaxing evening!
