Once more that Hawk

Saw the hawk with my own eyes today, perched in what my friend Nick calls, probably erroneously, an "English Birch" (help other posters?) near Foster. What a neato experience. I recognized the brown & white speckled chest & tail shape as he was on a pretty low branch & hung out for minutes. Called the Humanities office to advise the Dean of the hawk's presence, & he (the Dean) came out to confirm that this very hawk, young, probably male, and missing a telling tail feather, was the selfsame hawk that ate the rat. He wheeled over the building & was joined by another hawk who did not land anywhere for me to check him/her out.
