Red/orange feet would probably be a mourning dove. Feathers look like they support that.

We always laugh when we say our bird feeders are truly "bird" feeders since the hawks frequently come to dine on the diners. Always fascinating to see nature at work.

Not sure of feather identity but the evidence looks like the Merlin falcon who unfortunately hunts in our yard

Small , more fluffy feathers seem beige/tan. Feet are red. I don’t see any marks in the snow to indicate wings in takeoff and mammal tracks seem older and melted (lots of squirrels in this fenced-in area).
