Hawk being a hawk, distressing but amazing. I seem to remember them visiting your yard last year.

Yes, they come around periodically. It’s very cold here right now, and there’s no easy food sources, but my yard is full of birds because I put fresh food out every morning.
It was a beautiful hawk and I saw it pinning the bird in the snow on the ground. I couldn’t tell what the bird was until I went out after the hawk flew off. I recognized the dove’s feathers.

It’s a jungle out there! There is no compassion in nature.

It’s sad for the dove but the hawk has to eat also. One reason I hesitate to put out bird feeders.

I know, but it’s just so cold here, and without my feeding them, I’m sure they’d really struggle to get any food or nourishment. It’s a catch-22, that’s for sure.
