Backyard takeout dinner (MB)
After hearing a bird hitting the large glass window outside, ran out and saw
what could have been a Northern Harrier flying away (white area on rump a giveaway).
These were the biggest feathers remaining after the attack
Google Northern Harrier

Cornel Ornitholology Lab great for info. Will follow up on identifying the takeout.
