Well, maybe be happy you're not a hawk respectfully BOULDERSOFUNNEE, I ain't never seen a vegetarian amongst one of them! I want to go like the Jewish boys, same day, no embalmment, nice wooden toe pincher, off to the marble orchard, but I hate to think of myself getting eaten by the worms, predatory lil garden fish bait! But oh well, I reckon that's how it goes it the grand ole eco scheme of things!


I grew up in Alaska, a place where much of the wildlife was so abundant back when I was a kid, I don't think anybody really bothered to inventory things like bald eagles, etc.. Ft. Richardson was one of the largest moose populations in Southern Alaska; I can remember hunting them with a shotgun. I remember water so clean, one could drink out of the stream. Unlike Colorado and the lower 48, a man could walk and be where few ever been. The old sod roof cabins alongside the rivers, folks running trap lines, sluice operations, a land so pristine. 


I consider it fortunate to see a hawk eat!
