Hurdman Hawk
March 16th, 2010
A lone Red-Tailed Hawk is still haunting Hurdman transit station, after some weeks now.
He must be finding an abundant supply of voles in the neighboring fields. I saw him hunt once--he flew over to the hill, hovered, landed in the grass and stood motionless for some time, perhaps listening for the pitter-patter of their little feet.
The crows harass him whenever they find him. Sometimes they seem to be on patrol. I've seen them land on that hill and spread out, not foraging, just looking around and cawing.
Ah well.
With redwings and grackles back in town, it won't be long before the crows are getting a taste of their own medicine.
