Was a Dove

We are right smack dab on the hawk migration route. I see them everywhere.
I live next to an empty field that attracts White Winged Doves, the favorite prey.

This Winter, I find a pile of Dove feathers in my yard every day.

We all have to eat! I really like this shot, it makes one think.

Sad scene well photographed, but why are hawks not vegetarians...
That's life I know.

It is the cycle of life, but it is always sad, yet the hawks must eat too.

Sad, however nature has it's own way of taking care of things.

One bad day. Hope the dove's other days were good.

poignant....see piles of feathers in a local park from time to time, where both hawks and even coyotes prey on ducks and geese..
