There is an area were there are lots of red tail hawks but also lots of feral cats

ANyway To tell which is ah awk kill and which is a cat kill? If just the tail of the animal is found is it a hawk or a cat?

I found a woodpeckers beak today also

Yes there is a way. If a hawk plucks the feathers the will be a kink in each of them near the end of the shaft.
