Member Photos: Drama at the bird feeder

 There was drama at the bird feeder this morning.  The local Red Shouldered Hawk nabbed a Mourning Dove for lunch.  There was a lot of feather pulling, then the hawk took off with its prize.  Coincidentally, today is a FeederWatch count day, so I get to report that a hawk was attracted to the feeder!
