Extreme cold may have been a factor in the death of a Mourning Dove which initially lay intact on the driveway. The next day there was scavenger evidence of an American Crow feeding on the Mourning Dove carcass. The Dove's head was missing and much of the breast meat was torn from the carcass. Feathers plucked from the breast were found nearby.
