We saw it swoop by clutching it's victim. Thankfully we didn't see the actual catch take place. I still have such mixed emotions about who to root for...predator or prey. Thankfully it's not my choice to make, I'm only an observer.

my sister has three she is feeding in her yard, she going to go broke on the fresh hamburger. partly because the thrashers are in on the deal now and they are really bullies to the roadrunners. also a couple of doves that don't know they aren't supposed to be carnivors. LOL

(13,895 posts)I heard lots of screeching and rustling of leaves. A Coopers Hawk was chasing its prey thru the trees. It reminded me of WW2 fighter planes dueling over Europe. Bobbing and weaving, tight turns it was very exciting to watch. They eventually got out of sight and I always wondered who "won" that day...

(16,197 posts)Especially eagles but they all are stealth hunters. I hate the word but Im in awe of them.
And if they weren't the great hunters that they are they wouldn't survive. All part of nature's plan.
