After a lunch of pigeon, followed by an hour sitting in the Hare Krishna tree watching a soccer game, this hawk pursued a mouse in the grass and then seemed to get downright silly.
After chasing the mouse around a tree, the hawk tore into some daffodils...
Then hopped around in the grass, kicking up clods of dirt...
And finally, flinging sticks into the air...
Who's up for a game of catch?
I'm told the hawk is too young to be building a nest, so I can't explain its behavior. To a layperson, it looked like the hawk was just having a whole lot of fun.
