These are extraordinary birds and we have a lot of them around here. You photo is sublime – but the killing machine comes through so clearly and these days I notice I tend to turn away. It’s as if the killing of innocent children and adults is affecting my love of birds…

Nice Photo 🙂 After Johnson City, Tennessee poisoned the starlings I have not seen a bird of prey in over seven Years, and I even put up a ‘hawk pole’ in the back yard with no visitors 😥

That is disheartening about the hawks in Johnson City.

We’ve had sharpies in our neighborhood for several years now. One of them has learned that on fall afternoons, the light is just right to make our sliding glass doors disappear. The hawk flushes the mourning doves off the feeders, and once in a while one of them heads into the sliding glass door, often killing it. Then we have a scene like the one your husband caught.
Some die so some can eat — the circle of life, indeed.
