I woke up yesterday to a large (red tailed?) hawk sitting on my fence above a dead predator bird. It had obviously hit the glass fence and died immediately. The living hawk looked much bigger. Are these two the same species or did the larger hawk possibly chase the smaller one into the fence. I am pretty sure he does this with the smaller birds. You can see all the blue painters tape I put up to try to prevent this from happening.
I put the dead bird off on the side of the yard. I woke up this AM to find it gone. A single feather was on my patio and a few feathers were farther away in an (empty) dog bowl that I fill with water everyday for the wild birds. Does anyone know what would do this? Would a racoon try to wash it in the bowl? I have also been finding coyote scat on my patio, right where the lone feather was.
Thanks for any help figuring this out!
