The weather has been decent so I have been in my yard getting some projects done.   I , like many of ya'll,  have bird feeders in the yard and one of the many  visitors is small groups of doves.  Over the last few days I have watched the hawks have a field day with them.  And there is also   some sort of falcon diving on the doves.   I watched one dove flying for all he was worth down the road with a hawk just feet behind.   It is really quite a show,  and it starts when the sun rises till dusk.  One dove got hit so hard that all I saw was a explosion of feathers.

Mother Nature at Her finest.

These same hawks ignore the darn squirrels.  Which is good for me.

That's why U.S jets are called Hawks or Falcons.....death from above!!!!  Lucky you're seeing those kinds of action.
