This week in evolution...

Last weekend, our local bird of prey was back, sitting on the roof railing of the building across the street. About twenty feet down the railing, two pigeons engaged in a staring contest with the hawk. The rest of the neighborhood pigeon population had fled to safer spots.



Shortly after this, the Bean woke up and Dad had to turn away from birdwatching. The hawk was gone by the time he looked back. So we don't know how this story turned out for the precariously perched pigeons....
