Hey!
Just about 8:00m I stepped out the front door due to a commercial break in the baseball game and the hockey games.
I immediately spot a hawk flying from one spruce tree to the one beside it. A few flapping sounds then the hawk burst out from the nighttime
roosting tree with a shower of feathers and landed on the ground with a catch. The hawk sat there facing me for a few seconds and then flew off.
There was a young couple on the street who were just as surprised as I was.
Napper.
Happened fast I think it was a Sharp Shinned. I had a look at the feathers, a Dove was taken. Half an hour later and the Doves are just now returning to the tree for the night.
