I found this in the back yard this afternoon – something violent happened here.
Lots of grey and white feathers, most of them not all that small.
Maybe some avian forensics could determine what species of bird it was, but my guess would be one of the mourning doves that inhabit the area. As to the perpetrator of the attack, my money says hawk, but it could be my friend the owl or a feral cat. We’ll never know.
Either way, I hope at the end of the day you feel more like the (presumed) hawk and less like the (presumed) mourning dove.
