    Anyone wanna take a guess on this? My backyard this morning … probably a hawk I’d guess… those feathers are pretty big

    i I have an owl nearby, hawks, occasional bald eagle from the town nearby

    Strange

    I’m leaning owl now… saw a YouTube video on how they don’t leave any remnants behind… remember dissecting owl pellets in grade school.. they swallow bones n al

    i have a few nearby

    Hawks carry off their kill. might assume owls do the same. cats on the otherhand.....any ferals or outdoor pet cats in your area?

    neither have I. have a couple bird feeders. doves come and sit in the feeders and on the ground. on occasion I see a pile of feathers similar to yours...coopers hawks around and I hear owls hooting on occasion.

    Cute ^^ and cool eagles
    had this red tailed hawk in my backyard. I have a medium and smaller dog. Both on leashes til I looked around and hawk was gone. Let the medium off leash and started to play fetch. 
    Surprise! hawk flew over my head, I shouted and it turned before hitting my dog. Split second. I think it was confused and looking for smaller prey. Still a bit shocking and would have hated if they made contact. Would likely have been a bad situation for them both. Hurt dog/bit hawk.

    PSA

    be careful and reminder nature rules

    Nice to see nature and critters alive and well on AET.  Good show people!
