    … all species are equipped with natural abilities and gear so as to be able to provide for themselves; with my winged predator friends the hardware is pretty obvious … nice sharp talons to sink into its prey and a very sharp beak to render it into smaller pieces. This guy was taking it pretty easy with one of his talons tucked up under his feathers … cool.

    Not so obvious is the incredible air to air capabilities of this Coopers Hawk … they take their prey in flight and it can look like the most fierce aerial combat imaginable. So far I have not been able to successfully get a shot of it … many try’s though. We have five of them cruising the neighborhood now and soon they will be leaving as they have pretty well decimated the songbird population … no food no reason to stay.

    An article on the Slide Fire worth reading and watching the embedded video is at: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/07/box_and_burn_the_future_of_u_s_wildfire_policy.html enjoy it and thank you Josh.

    A long day so need to put a wrap on it … flew early morning, the Anderson family serviced the 95 van whilst I had a latte with John … home … friends over for a nice afternoon visit and then out to the Hilton for dinner and enjoy the music of Anthony Mazzella. A very good day.

    Have a joyful day … be glad the Coopers Hawk is not huge … do not go to sleep and dream of very huge well equipped hawks :+) … if you do, remember we are all part of the food chain and it is natural :+)

    Cheers … smiles

    I bring but this one common thought, my life has wrought;
    That from the dregs of drear despair, still everywhere
    There is a joy I yet may sip – Tis comradeship
    With all mankind, the high and low
    I know.
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
