I regularly have piles of dove feather s in my yard - and know the Cooper's hawks take out some but the Sharpies are regular visitors too.

We had 17 White-winged Doves and 10 Collared Doves at our feeder 10 minutes ago. Now we have one Cooper's Hawk and NO doves in our yard.

During spring and summer when we have a local pair of Cooper's Hawks, I frequently find piles of collared-dove feathers. They appear to be either particularly attractive or particularly easy targets of Coopers.
