Hungry Hawk Catches Garden Bird. Critters in the Garden Landscape

A Cooper's Hawk landed in the garden eating what appears to be a dove.

They're a year long resident of Texas and can be found all over the state. They usually like wooded areas, but backyards make great hunting grounds for them now too.
