A better pic of one of my Hawks..
He comes a couple of times a day,knows I have Pigeons here..
He's killed three already,I know he has to survive,but I wish he had something else to eat...Does anyone know what kind he is,his wingfeathers are greyish..

My guess would be a Cooper's hawk, chico. Could be a Sharp-tailed, too, but they usually take smaller prey than a pigeon. Beautiful hawk!

Thank you,yes he is beautiful,he's very slender and not all that big,but big enough to fly off with a Pigeon.
You know I love "my"Pigeons and it is brutal,but it's nature. I'll check on Coopers Hawks,I think they are very common,right.

Cooper's are fairly common and this time of year they're on the move, so it's not too unlikely that you'd have one in your area.

Hazel,I always thought he was a Coopers Hawk,except his wing-feathers are grey,not brown.
We also have a bigger Hawk coming around all winter,I think they know the Pigeons come here to eat. I suppose in the summer they have enough fields to hunt mice,rabbits etc,then they come here in winter.
