I had the dog out for a brief walk this morning when we came upon a pile of Dove feathers on the Boulevard in front of my neighbours house.
I suspect  a Coopers hawk did it, I have spotted one on numerous occasions in the last few weeks.
The feeder is very busy and now we have House sparrow visiting which is uncommon as they usually hang out closer to the small mall down the street.
I counted 7 doves under the feeder last week.

I'm not the greatest at math but I just suspect that you will find six doves on, or near your feeder this week. 

There were seven slick doves on the feeder I say, seven slick doves in a group, if one of the doves should then become prey there would be six slick doves on the feeder I say, should still one more of those slick doves become prey, then there would be five slick doves on the feeder today.

I saw the house finch pair with the leucistic female a few weeks ago. After I filled the birdfeeder, some normal house finches have been using it. I hope Leucy will come back.
