    Default Dove poacher


    My bud who loves to sit this location on our little woodlot says the doves that come in droves to the feeder are always very nervous . Says they bolt when the wind blows a leaf or 2 .....
    I said well bro I bet something is likely eating them , I have seen a few feathers laying around. And predators like to hunt where there is game and where there is food there is game.

    Yes sir those hawks is ruff on them ! We have trouble with them doing that every year on a place that we fix up for the doves! You can tell by the actions of the dove when a hawk is close!

    Hawks are pretty hard on the squirrels at feeders also.

    We have a Falcon that takes a few birds from our yard in the middle of the city. The up side is he just about eliminated any problems we had with pigeons roasting on the house.

    I got a Hawk that hangs around the recycling center where I work and it get's it's share of everything that moves. We had a one legged crow that we fed for a while and now it has disappeared. Now, I worry about the cat that took up there!

    Hawks have to eat too, doves are fat and slow on the ground, but put a dove out in front of my scattergun and I swear they can fly 75mph.
