We have an overview camera, an older SD1A203T-GN-W 2MP from @EMPIRETECANDY tasked for overview covering the driveway, shop/garage and adjacent lot. The wife has bird feeders out next to the driveway, and recently pigeons started showing up eating from a couple of the feeders that are big enough for them, and on the ground. Then we noticed at times all the birds were gone, just poof, there one second, gone the next. We noticed we have a hawk set up residence, we think in a nearby magnolia tree. This video shows the hawk grab a pigeon from mid air. He ate some of it there, and then flew off to the magnolia tree with the remainder.

Yes its grainy as is is digitally zoomed in 4-5 times and slowed way down. Watching it in real time is just a flash!!
