The crows send out an early
morning alarm, letting everyone know there is a hawk in the area. The alarm spreads from crow to crow, across
the treetops and even causing the ground squirrels to panic, running in chaotic
directions, until finally they try hard to blend in with the tree trunks.
Everyone loves breakfast but no
one wants to be it. Neighbors walk their
dogs along the edge of the road, neither them nor their pet seems concerned
over the presence of the hawk. The
humans believe their size is enough to intimidate any bird, yet little do they
realize the hawk sees the tasty treat at the end of the leash as a simple swoop
and grab.
Silently gliding in from behind
the human, the element of surprise will thwart any leash jerking action they attempt to save little Mickey. And
the wingspan of the hawk will easily drag through the air the dangling leash,
while Mickey yaps in fear and pain from the claws digging into his sides.
The signs are all there, we just
have to listen to them and pay attention to our surroundings.
