What about bird that are on a typical hawk's dinner menu, such as the
Morning Dove? I certainly don't have detailed knowledge of birds, but it

Presuming you meant the Mourning Dove, how about this list:
[note that numbers in the last column are years and months.]

3120 Band-tailed Pigeon 18-06
3140 White-crowned Pigeon 14-05
3151 Spotted Dove 7-08
3160 Mourning Dove 31-04
3180 White-tipped Dove 8-07
3190 White-winged Dove 21-09
3200 Common Ground-Dove 7-02
3210 Inca Dove 10-10


Hmmmm, 31yrs.... and the other popular game bird, the White-winged... but
it only has a typical life span of 21 years

Oh, by the way, bird's are not dinner fare for the "typical" hawk, more like
for the Sharp-Shinned and the Cooper's. You need to do your homework also,
Peter, before you go running off without engaging the brain.

And you, sir, need a sense of humor. My post was not meant to be taken as
seriously as you did, but I am appreciative of the additional information
you provided.
