[SBB] red tail and mockingbirds...

[Chuq Von Rospach <[[email protected]]>]

coming to work this morning in cupertino, there was a major argument  
going on in the parking lot of my building (on Valley Green). Looking  
into one of the eucalyptus trees, I saw a very familiar outline -- a  
large, adult red tail hawk calmly sitting in the tree, carefully  
ignoring a mockingbird that was attempting to harrass it (at about  
130 decibels). I stood and watched the show for a couple of minutes,  
with the mockingbird trying its damndest to get the hawk to leave,  
and the hawk refusing to even notice it. A couple of crows heard the  
noise and came to investigate -- when one saw the hawk, it decided to  
go elsewhere and left. The other crow took a couple of half-hearted  
passes at the hawk, decided it wasn't worth the bother, and took off  
to join his buddy....

when I stopped and went inside, the hawk was still there, with the  
mockingbird still screaming at the top of its lungs and dancing  
around it....
