I'm a Chickenhawk...



We can't decide if he is a falcon or a hawk, we have googled both and we are stumped. Either way, this big guy thought he would make my front yard into a restaurant this morning. The girls and I backed out of the driveway to find this huge bird on the front lawn and he wasn't interested in going anywhere anytime soon. I thought maybe he was injured since he wouldn't move, but I called Mitch and he convinced me that I didn't need to call anyone to come save the day. So I left him sitting there on the lawn and went to run my errands.

When I arrived home, the bird was gone and all that was left was a pile of feathers... so I thought. When Mitch came home he told me that there were way too many feathers to be from the bird just hanging out in the front yard and that her must have killed another bird. Here I am feeling sorry for the stupid bird when the whole time he was committing a murder right in my front yard!

I went out to investigate and found a head of a dove right there in the pile of feathers! Big jerk! This bird ate one of the sweet little doves that live in the tree in the front yard! I am glad I didn't realize this until Mitch came home.
