Eating Other Birds

I saw some behavior from this bird I’ve never seen before. I knew from past experience they will eat snakes, small lizards and pretty much anything else they come across. The one thing I witnessed the other day kind of surprised me. They will prey upon and take small birds. This large Road Runner came running up on a bunch of house wrens and doves feeding on the ground. The bird took and grabbed a small finch and commenced to run off with it and then I watched it kill the bird . I assume to consume it, but I didn’t see that actually happen.

Yesterdays Bird

He tried again yesterday morning, but failed to get his bird. Later this day in the evening, I was standing at the window and there was another large predator taking a dove in the lot behind us at the RV Park. I didn’t have time to grab a camera but the bird looked like a young golden eagle to me. IT was a very large bird. I so wished I had gotten a shot of it.
