Around noon at our place (just east of the Merlin I-5 exit) today (03-15-2016)
an adult COOPER'S HAWK was feasting on a BAND-TAILED PIGEON on the ground here.
Question, would think a Band-tail would be pretty heavy for a Cooper's Hawk to
fly into the yard with. There were Pigeon feathers everywhere; it must have
caught it at our place? Any one else know if a Cooper's could carry off a
Band-tail to a different location?
