CHECK out these 2 pictures here. The first one: Wow — a bird of prey! It’s an adult Swainson’s Hawk on a mission. & me thinks that mission involves a dive-bombing on Murray’s head. Murray is a licensed bird bander. A few days earlier he helped to band the young, and it seems the adult remembered him. He writes: “The adult Swainson’s Hawk was determined to crease my skull. I had just stepped out of the truck to get her image a hundred feet higher when she saw me and dropped like a rock swooping me”. So folks,…this proves exactly why having training, and having a heads-up attitude and respect for the birds is vital, when banding birds! OK — now check the other picture a little further down …
Duck! NO. Hawk.
I have a vivid imagination. And so did Gene Roddenberry. As soon as I saw the picture of the Swainson’s Hawk,….I thought of the Klingon’s war vessel — Bird of Prey. We invite you to share your pictures and your imagination with us – upload your fresh air photo today!
