Ever lost standard size DUCK to hawk in daytime?

Yes. It was a big duck, but our hawks around here can be huge. It was our first loss to a predator, and was kind of traumatic. Don't know about your area, but here daytime is when the hawks do their hunting. Our owls hunt at night, it seems.
That was over a year ago and we haven't lost another bird to hawks, though, even though we let many of our birds roam about.

We just lost a Indian Runner female yesterday afternoon to a hawk. We found her last night and now I have to go bury her today. Very sad.
Yes. I have.
And I also just recently lost my 6 remaining meat birds (Cornish X) to hawks. They had a good life. I bought them 2 years ago as day old chicks from McMurray. The other 30 turned into our dinner and we ran out of good processing weather so they were turned out to pasture. They free ranged every day of their adult life and were very healthy for meat birds. They even laid eggs! I've got one their chicks out in my baby pen right now.
Take care,
Tami

We have eagles (and hawks) the eagles even go after the ducks and smaller geese when they are on the water.
Hawks hunt ONLY in day light.
Owls hunt mostly at night
