Brings back memories :S My pigeon was eaten by a hawk or whatever... Well, not eaten, but he died in front of my eyes. Well, hawks need food too, I understand...

Nice pic though

Wow, it's so pretty. ^_^ There's one of these guys in my backyard now and then.. eying the squirrels.

Did you see him take down the pigeon? o_o That must have been awesome to watch..

No, I was too late for the takedown, just there as he was finishing up
his meal. Its soo cold, he didn't want to leave.

The other tim and I have decided its was more than likely a
coopers hawk. Just a little too big and too round a tail to be
a sharp shinned. Oh well..Still enjoyed the opportunity..

Thanks.. glad you like it.. I was thrilled to get it. They are so
jumpy. Very difficult to get close too, and seldom seen.

Yeah i love it, I've only seen a hawk take down a prey once and it was fighting a little squirrel in a field and he put up a fight until he was decapitated. Wish i got a picture of it, was cool.. would of made an awesome shot.

I love your photography

When its -15 below zero at night.. they need their food to keep
warm. What else are pigeons good for?
