We have a lot of mourning doves in our neighborhood. They're the sweetest, gentlest things. But they're kinda slow, too. On several occasions, I've looked out the front door and seen red-tailed hawks swoop down and just snap one up out of a group around my neighbor's bird feeder. Swoop! Bye-bye dove-bird. One of our neighbors also lost a kitten the same way.

That animal in your picture sure looked a lot more like a coyote or wolf than the foxes I've seen, Friendowl.
