Coming out of a grocery there two days ago, I heard heard and then saw two apparently furious crows dive bombing a very large and proud hawk sitting and surveying the neighborhood. He looked oblivious to the crow threats, but ultimately, in his own time, flew off to a quieter neighborhood. We see alot of hawks sitting in trees or on telephone poles here in the countryside--but they are unusual in town neighborhoods. I enjoy seeing them though--they have such a dignified, stately posture. I live in town and there is a small strip mall about 1 mile away.

It describes how my mind works so often! Once you "click" into a way of seeing, your mind just goes to a creative sweet spot that helps you pull inspiration and resources together! On a different note, on the edge of my neighborhood (in farming river valley) there are some very tall trees that have hawk's nests. Every spring some fledglings start screaming madly for more and more food, and eventually start soaring out from the nest. There are many crows here (corn!) and there are Red Baron-like dogfights overhead between the crows and the hawks - coming together with beating wings, loud bird war whoops, and sometimes crashing together onto the ground (though they always seem to fly away unharmed - like teenagers in West Side Story). The hawks and the jets! Thank you so much for your diary entries. I savor each one. Debbie Deanne- I just love this entry. It describes how my mind works so often!
