It spent 15 minutes standing on the starling recovering from the window hit before taking the still screaming starling to the front lawn to begin plucking the feathers and eating the bird. This is a young bird as it has yellow eyes and not red eyes as an adult would have. Sharp-shinned or Coopers Hawk…photos….Michelle

The survivors are quite wary. I just hope that the guys with shotguns can tell them from the Purple Gallinules, as the latter have become less common locally since the shooting started.
