? SQUAB ANYONE ?

STOMPING MY BIG FOOT ON THE OLD VAN'S BRAKE PEDAL RATHER HARSHLY;
NEXT, GRAPPLING THROUGH ALL MY STUFF FOR A CAMERA OF ANY KIND,
I WAS ABLE TO GET MY HANDS ON MY NIKON D70s. HOPEFULLY THERE IS A COMPACT FLASH DISC IN IT, AND THERE WAS. JUMPING? LET'S JUST SAY GETTING OUT RATHER QUICKLY, I POINTED THE CAMERA UP AND TOWARDS THE TOP OF A POWER POLE.

**********************************************************

WELL, WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A HARRIS' HAWK ON A POWER POLE YOU SAY?

NOT MUCH, EXCEPT THAT AREA IS IN A HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL PART OF TOWN WHERE I LIVE.

**************************************************************************

I FIGURED THERE MUST BE SOMETHING A FOOT HERE, HARRIS' HAWKS DON'T COME TO TOWN
FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

SO, LOOKING IN THE SAME DIRECTION THE HAWK WAS LOOKING, I FOUND THE REASON IT WAS THERE.

*************************************************************************

COME'ON OVER BEFORE BREAKFAST GETS COLD AND HAVE A BITE.

JUST GOT ME A YOUNG PIGEON, COME ON!

********************************************************

I HAD BETTER GET MY FILL BEFORE THAT OTHER HAWK GETS OVER HERE.

**************************************************

OH; THIS IS SO GOOD, THANKS FOR INVITING ME TO BREAKFAST.

*****************************************************************************

I'LL HELP HER OUT BY GETTING RID OF THE FEATHERS.

************************************************************************

HERE IN YOUNGTOWN, ARIZONA THERE ARE ABOUT 500 PIGEONS FOR EVERY HAWK.

I KNEW THE HAWKS, HARRIS' AND RED-TAILS WERE CATCHING & EATING THE PIGEONS BUT HAD JUST NEVER BEEN A WITNESS TO IT.
