The white wing dove met his match

We have a cat in the neighborhood who I see walking along the top of our fence from time to time. He’s quite a hunter and two days ago he grabbed a dove. We are having our fence repaired and one of the workmen alerted me to the pile of feathers in the back yard. This for my extras album

So sad -- yet its nature !

Oh dear but cat was only doing what cats do.

Lovely shot of the feathers, cats unfortunately are hunters.

Sad, but it does happen...my mom has stopped feeding the birds because there are too many stray cats wandering around...

[Bep]

Sad to see...

So sad but all part of the natural world interesting image Lou Ann:)

Oh I don’t like seeing a pile of feathers like that....even worse in the hen coop when you know a fox has got in!

[Carole Sandford]

Aww poor thing!

[Milanie]

Good details - but always surprises me that the birds can't fly away quickly enough

[The Dog Lady]

aww poor baby

[Lou Ann]

@milaniet I know, the cat must come from behind! @dogwoman @carole_sandford @happypat @pcoulson @grammyn @gijsje @linnypinny @ludwigsdiana @joansmor @beryl thank you all so much for your great comments, this is honestly the first time we’ve seen this in maybe two years.

Oh my. :-(

It's a little sad, but also nature...
