Question time ? The hunters are hunted

We are still scratching our heads ,something killed at least 2 hawks at my place . Both kills occurred close to feed areas . I assumed a bobcat ,but get this .....
My wife and I were filling a really tall feeder that has its top up at about 14 feet and right on top of the barrel was leg of a hawk picked right clean except for the talons .
that for sure had to get flown up there , nothing but maybe a lizard could climb the barrel .
So help me out yawl , i now think it was likely a great horned owl i have seen that lives there but i am still not quite sure . maybe a larger hawk possibly a goshawk ?
the ones that got ate were medium size hawks , probably sharp shinned maybe ?
what say the judge and jury ?

My vote would be horned owl

Well I never!
I can tell you we find hair pellets, on top of our feeders all the time.

i have seen large owls sitting on top of feeders before , but i never seen a hawk get eaten before .

I would say the owl, or possibly an eagle.

Possibly an eagle.
