The Predator

This one caught me by surprise. I was out in the yard taking pictures and I heard a large pop like a gun shot. I saw feathers raining down, and thought someone had shot one of the birds. Turns out a Cooper's Hawk, commonly known as a Chicken Hawk, picked a Eurasian Collard Dove out of a tree. Cooper's Hawks are known to wait in the tree canopy to ambush prey.
