Hawk - In Three Acts

Hawk in the hay loft, actually. Last night the hawk was sitting on a small mound of loose hay, with his head tucked under his wing. So cute, in a Raptor sort of way. I tried tip-toeing past him, but that didn't work. He woke up, screeching!

Speaking of hay: our hay supplier's hay shed burned to the ground on Tuesday night. The shed was a large one, also housing farm equipment. Estimated amount of loss: $1MILLION. He has the best hay, too. No one was injured, but a tragic loss to the local barns.

The following day I did not see the Hawk in the loft at all. I was disappointed. I was hoping that he would stay and patrol the barn. We have mice and a flock of House Finches. These two groups are occasionally found in water buckets. They are not good swimmers.

I get a text from him first thing Saturday morning - the Hawk has been found dead in the hay loft on a bale of hay. Darn.
