Today is a special day.
Today we are called to….
We had a special event at our house yesterday. A hawk was spotted under the bird feeder (and subsequently kind of under the porch)!
At the same time, it was eerily quiet in the back yard. The other birds were in hiding!
I think this hawk was actually holding a squirrel, ensuring that it was deceased before consumption. It was still enjoying dinner when we left the house for date night.
This morning all hubby could find was a bloody bone.
Hawks are good for keeping the rodent population down. For this reason, we are always happy to see them in our yard.
They seem to take no delight in the kill, and the prey usually don’t have long to suffer. I tend to think that most of the time the prey don’t even know what hit them.
But, like us, hawks need to eat, and this is what they do.
On this fourth of March, I hope you are able to march forth today in spite of any challenges you may be facing. (We all have them!)
