The Sharp-shinned Hawk & The Cooper'sHawk
I am definitely an admirer of both the Sharp-shinned Hawk and the Cooper's Hawk. I am also quite fond of Mourning Doves, which are the favourite backyard prey of the two hawks I have just mentioned. The hawks are able to catch several types of birds, but a single plump Mourning Dove makes a banquet for a hawk. In the grand scheme of things, I suppose losing one or two Mourning Doves each week is not a big deal, unless of course you are the Mourning Dove.
