NATURE: Hawk catches a Dove

I was hunting hogs in South Texas when a ball of feathers fell from the sky, and lots of dove flew up at the same time. I tried to get the camera rockin', but it wasn't as fast as me. I still captured this act of Nature as it happened.

Cool footage!

@MBJB07 Thank you! I thought so too!

I thought the alien standing on the right of the picture could have done just a bit more to help the pigeon.

@Multapunkata What planet are you from? And that's not a pigeon, it's a dove.

There is no alien or anything else standing to the right. Must be good drugs.

@hoghunterdiva pigeons are doves

@LongHandleSpoon In Texas where I live and hunt, the two are distinguished differently including by our states wildlife dept. We don't have Squab season, we only have a dove season. Thanks for the post.

it's not horrible, it's nature... it makes the quick kill of a hunters bullet a nicer alternative doesn't it?

Dang coopers hawks don't always kill their prey.

@ted81876 birds of prey are protected... maybe someone should chase you off before you eat you next pork chop.

@Brinah just eat your hamburger.....
