Return of the Hawk another SAD day.

In this video, the Coopers Hawk that has shown up in previous videos has returned. The first chick is snatched in just a few seconds, but then the Hawk stops on the driveway near the nest and suffocates the chick before flying away. Hours later the hawk returns in a snow storm and takes the second chick, but remains on the nest platform to suffocate it before flying home.

As long as that nest is there that hawk will have free meal for the rest of smhid life. Thank you homeowner

Mom was gone long enough for the nest box to be covered in snow? Idk,but I felt her confusion and pain

[@yimleej4385]

Have any of the chicks hatched and raised in this nestbox been able to reach adulthood?

[@RonaldHunt-lb7gb]

There have been 2-4 "batches of two" that have fledged each year for at least the last 3 years since I have had the camera.

y donde estan los padres

[@tom11zz884]

At least put some king of barrier around the nest so Hawks can't get in there.
It is way too easy for them to get to the babies.

А ума неизватает построить в другом месте гнездо ?

Mãe que não defende seu filho

[@itsiretniitajes3261]

Did you deliberately make the nest so that you could record the baby birds being preyed upon by eagles? Oh my God, imagine if your child was given bait to a lion

[@Daniel_sz]

It happens dude, coopers hawks takes chicks seasonally, putting a nest doesnt guarantee a hawk would be coming..
Besides, its a common practice to put artificial nests and feeders for birds, its not for the sake of atracting predators.

Humans prey on Lions in certain parts of Africa. Humans are smarter than that lmaoooo

Well…to be honest…hawks are far more precious. They are at a risk of extinction. Doves are not.
