Today was the second time in a week or so that a Coopers Hawk has taken a Dove from my feeder area. Both times their prey were Eurasion Collared Doves. Should I be concerned? I feel that this is nature taking it's natural course. Others tell me that by having a feeder I am serving up a buffet for the Hawk. I'd be interested in some serious birders thoughts. Thanks.
