I know but you have to think about its talons and cornering one in a box.

Its hard to imagine a bird that size taking on a pigeon!

Awesome. It reminds me of my aunt and uncle's pond. They had koi they kept disappearing, and one day my uncle came out and discovered a great blue heron standing there like he owned the place. Then they discovered there were also raccoons visiting it. This was all in Seattle...it's interesting how predators can find these places.
