Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Bird Watchers

There are some small hawks which frequent the side of the highway (407 for the locals) that runs beside our office. I guess they're hunting for rodents in the grassy areas beside the highway. Small, spindly trees were planted in the grassy area and have never really grown much, presumably due to the road salt.

The hawks come in and land on tree branches which are far too thin to support their weight, so the branch bends down several feet with the birds wobbling and flapping to maintain balance...

Finally, bird watching becomes an action sport.
