I must have stumbled upon it just a minute or so after it happened. The hawk was pretty dazed and defensive while the pigeon was.... quite dead. There was a neat smattering of feathers and what I can only assume to be bird tears on the window pane.
So..... my gf tried to rescue the hawk as it wasn't being very mobile. She called the local raptor rescue center and they sent someone out. Meanwhile she crouched in the parking lot with a cardboard box and the fuckin dead dove, trying to coax the hawk to her.
After and hour of this the hawk was perched in a small tree to escape the obviously insane person. When the bird collector lady showed up with a net to capture it.
The hawk immediately flew away.
