 From Donna Lorello:
2/23 - Branford -- It is my belief the WWD has been taken by a hawk.
Today upon my arrival home, I found a pile of feathers under the tree
where he has been feeding along with his Mourning Dove companions.
The feathers I found were squared off tail feathers with the white
band and some white tipped coverts as well as many other body and neck
feathers.  There have been several hawks patrolling my neighborhood -
immature Cooper's Hawks and an adult Sharpie as well as a Red
shouldered Hawk.  If by some chance he escaped and I see him again, I
will report in.
