Notebook

I was watching a red tail hawk flying in the crisp blue sky last evening while cooking dinner out on the grill. Two of my favorite things to do by the way. As i watched, as some birds will do, a crow began to dive bomb the hawk to i assume make it move away from something the crow was trying to protect. It has always amazed me that hawks with there far superior ability to fly and thier razor sharp talons allow these smaller birds to push them around. Instead of attacking back the hawk will generally fly away till the other bird backs off. Some times i feel like the hawk other times i feel like the crow. I usaually go through out my day minding my own business and avoiding conflict. Side stepping it when people get hot or in my face. Other times though im like the crow. Trying my best to protect the ones i love,(or the chocolate im eating), from preditors. You would think one would envy the hawk, not me i envy the crow.
