It flew away when a car came so I think the pigeon maybe got away. The sparrowhawk was also being mobbed by crows so it was kind of having a bad day at work.

Nature’s game of survival is wild, huh? That sparrowhawk had its eye on dinner but got interrupted. Pigeons really do have nine lives, lol.

Or is it a pigeonhawk

Not a sparrow hawk, which is now called a kestrel. This is larger. Perhaps a broad winged hawk.
I’m always amazed I don’t see more bird corpses. Predator and Prey birds make up much of the skies around my city. Yet, almost never, ever see dead birds.

No one talks about bird-on-bird violence.

I worked in a hangar in Santa Barbara back in 2000, had a real problem with pigeons pooping all over so they brought in some peregrine falcons. Wasn’t long before engineers were complaining again. This time pigeon parts and feathers falling on them. Always something to complain about.

We had a Coopers hawk kill a pigeon and eat it on our back fence. Just left a pigeon carcass in the back yard. Pretty hardcore

I saw one a few years ago eating a magpie. All the other magpies were going mad squawking but weren’t brave enough to save their friend and the sparrowhawk just continued eating unfazed.
