"William Kettle he is a rover"

Dark skies and rolling thunder. Despite the coming storm, there is a squirrel clinging to the sunflower seed feeder, chowing down as fast as he can.

Title of post is from this entry in Forgotten Bookmarks, which is exactly what it sounds like. *g*

No. Just, No.

I can only hope Nick R. of Hawkforce was pulling the reporter's leg when he said this:

“The natural predator of these hawks is prairie dogs, which is why they don’t like them," he said. "They would not try to carry them off.”

Because otherwise I'd say he doesn't know a damn thing about hawks and probably shouldn't be handling one.

Prairie dogs, small cuddly herbivores.
Harris hawk ... not.

From the Telegraph: Harris hawks, used to control pigeons in Central London, have been attacking small dogs.
