Dave and all,
I have a fair number of Eurasian Collared-Doves in my Pueblo West yard, and
also see some (not nearly enough) piles of feathers. I've seen them actually
being eaten in my yard and the neighbor's by Cooper's Hawks and once by a
Merlin. Once I surprised a Sharp-shinned Hawk with on
x27;s Hawk and Great Horned Owl,
but Prairie Falcon, Sharp-shins, Red-tails, probably Northern Goshawk, and
maybe others like Northern Harrier and Merlin no doubt get in on the act. Of
course, human dove hunters have also benefited.
