Quietly having breakfast earlier and WHAM!!! against the window behind me

Can you see the smear on the glass?

We get ten or so doves every morning.
At the feeders and around the bird bath.

A red shoulder hawk grabbed one and was having trouble containing it. One the other or both slammed into the window. We didn’t see it happen so I’m guessing.

By the time we got to the window the hawk was just taking off from the grass with the dove secured

The whole thing was way too fast for any action pix.
