Indianapolis has a nesting pair of perigrine falcons downtown. Today I heard a thunk at my front door window and when I looked out there was one of the young falcons with a dove in his claws sitting on the porch.
I did make a noise and he flew away with his lunch since I did not want dove parts all over my porch. We wondered why there seemed to be fewer birds around and the dove with a nest on our digital TV disk vanished after laying two eggs. Mystery solved.
We have had racoon, possum, squirrel, and now falcons downtown. Few stray dogs and cats.
