Nanny, at least you got to see the eagles.

I do hope everyone will be safe from the hurricane.

Last night I was sitting near the window when a dove flew at it full force. The bird died instantly but a Cooper's hawk grabbed it and took it off our deck. I can only assume the dove had been sitting somewhere close as they always do and was trying to get away from the hawk that's been around for several days now. It wasn't easy to watch but there was nothing I could have done to save the dove. Sometimes I dislike Mother Nature.
The hawk stayed long enough for me to run and grab the camera. I suspect it was trying to figure out how to pull the bird over the railing wire.
