This hawk came swooping in from behind them and plucked one right off the fence. His flight path took him right in front of us as he veered towards the back fence and flew off. All that was left in his wake was dove feathers drifting slowly towards the ground.

Insert crow, turn to the side of the house with the trash can, and there was a Coopers Hawk perched on my camper looking at me. I could just picture an 'Atta Boy!' from him (the crows harass the hawks mercilessly).

Gave me a warm fuzzy, anyways

Moving back to Colorado from California as a kid, crossed the state line near Moab on I-70. What was the very first song played over the radio? "Dead skunks in the middle of the road".

To this day I still remember that moment. Massive culture shock, thinking to myself "WTF have I gotten into??!!??"

Status: offline 		Those chickadees are brave. I used to put sunflower seeds on the outside window ledge on my second floor apartment. A chickadee would sing while sorting through the seeds, deciding which one that it wanted while my cat glared at it from less than 6 inches away - with the window between them.

I have also seen blackbirds chasing crows away.

I have some PTSD about that song. I had a bunch of mix tapes like most kids did back in the day and a few were favorites from Dr Demento. One day in college I was singing along with Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road on the way home from school and later that afternoon my cat got run over in front of the house. My father saw it happen and the sound of his voice when he came in cradling the dead cat still haunts me more than 30 years later. She was a nice cat too. We only had her about 6 months.

On the lighter side, there was a group of people who used to rent out most of the lodging in the small town of Sekiu, WA (pronounced C-Q) for a weekend every year. I went a few years and one year there was a bald eagle that would cruise over the marina about every 1/2 hour. When it came over, every seagull would make a lot of noise and try to get higher than the eagle. The eagle was mostly looking down so I think it was fishing, but it probably was getting Scheudenfreude from scaring the gulls.

Status: offline 		This is one of those "what ship is this" things. I was trying to find where the picture below was taken so I could figure out what that is behind the flag on the stern of the ship. At first I thought maybe two shell splashes from the main guns, but no, couldn't be. An artificial structure then, maybe a gantry for loading ships? Anyway, what ship is this?

The ship that once fought with ANZACs against Germans and was later celebrated in Australia when visiting. Those twists of history

That picture is in Wikipedia as BC Ibuki, which was the one that escorted the ANZAC convoy.

Status: offline 		I'm going to ramble a bit. Some think Hitchcock's greatest film is Vertigo, and I'm one of those. Here is a graphic for the film. The eye in the picture belongs to Barbara Bel Geddes, and the glasses too. She played what seemed to be a bit part, and yet she is central to the film. Hitchcock, like many other directors, made dream films, and the question in this one is "who is the dreamer?" It's Barbara. Also, Herrmann's music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owm8RkA3FtA
