Just a few downy feathers were all that remained of the Mourning Dove. It fell to an immature Cooper's Hawk that has been frequenting the area of late.
Here's some images of the coopers from a few days before the successful hunt. Not great images but I thought I'd share anyway (my hawk photos are often "grab the camera and shoot, settings be damned!")

Susan - with their little bit bigger size, Coopers will go after the larger birds.

By golly, this fellow - or one of his relatives - has also been to our yard here in South Florida. Here they eat doves and pigeons.
