Day One: Hawks & a Rat

My colleague Don reported, during a walk he, Kate and I took to check out the viburnum, sweetbox, and daphne blooming near Bauer Hall, that what appeared to be a red tailed hawk was spotted munching on what appeared to be a rat in the oak tree outside of Foster Hall. I'm delighted that raptors are living on campus, and assume the RTH brought the rat in from the I-5 corridor.
