the circle of life
My drive to the train station takes me through a hawks' territory. I see him (or her) sitting atop a large utility pole along the same stretch of road nearly every morning. This morning was no exception (one of these days I will bring a camera along and try and grab a few shots; it's a magnificent creature.)
This morning, however, I noticed that two utility poles down, there was another shape on top. As I passed by I was able to see what it was: a rabbit. The hawk had caught a rabbit (and a good sized one at that) and had left it on top of the utility pole for later consumption (perhaps to take bits back to its young?) It was a bizarre sight, to say the least, seeing a rabbit up a 50 foot utility pole
