Anjali was in biology class with her nice teacher. Somebody came in and told the students to look out the window, at a red-tailed hawk with the remains of a pigeon.

I just looked at Anjali's photography page. She is certainly talented. Could make a living that way.

Janet, thanks. She used to see eagles in Seattle...now she is in NY and a hawk decides to have lunch right outside her classroom window. Didn't waste a second. See you soon, George

I am so impressed with Anjali's photographs. Capturing the hawk so well meant quick and focused response. Her portfolio demonstrates considerable imagination, sensitivity to colors and compositions.What a wonderful aptitude and interest!

You should have seen her quickie of the steamed carrots, round, like marbles, at lunch Sunday. She just sees stuff, whisks out her smartphone, clicks once and done.
the hawk outside class was bizarre for somebody who knows so much about birds.
see you soon,
GV

George,

i'm doing my group read of your stuff. enjoy reading a bunch because one is over too quickly.

nice giving Anjali a forum to show her skill.

I've seen a red tailed hawk dismantle a mourning dove in mid air outside my window.

unfortunate for the victim but spektaklar--as your late lamented prezdent dubya might say.

hope your easter weekend is a good one.

Bruce, thanks again. There was a gorgeous piece of writing in the NYT magazine a few weeks, about falcons in urban settings of Dublin, soaring downward for an attempted kill. Link below:

George,

thanks. I read it when it appeared.

we have tons of peregrine falcons in this area. they have been bringing them here for well over 20 years. in the roof atop the Sheraton hotel, Mohawk college where I used to work...also starting to see bald eagles.
