Saw this in our back yard the other day. The feathers belong to a bird that never saw what hit him. I think this must be a falcon, just because one day, a long time ago in San Francisco, I watched out my work window as a Peregrine slammed into a pigeon at such unbelievable speed it left only an explosion of feathers in its wake. Still, even after looking at a guide, I am unsure what type of bird this really is. All I know is that he smacked that other bird dang hard. Any birder's out there? (Steve? Alan?) Would be nice to know what killer raptors are hanging out in the neighborhood!
