And yet the Cooper's Hawk is a magnificent bird.
S/he landed on my patio and I have wonderful pictures,
which I wish I could post. That is something we will
work on Jackie, tho' many tried to help me post here
early on to no avail.

we had two families of red-tailed hawks take up residence in our woods this August, and not coincidentally I believe, we lost two of our cats. it was a tough summer.

Red Tails are magnificent birds too, as are the very small kestrels. My sympathy on the loss of your cats. Third one down, right hand side is like the one in my yard. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/AboutBirdsandFeeding/accipiterIDtable.htm

funny how this word is used by Tolkien as you say, especially
when Saruman begins his terrible destruction. We don't use
it much, but sure know what it means when it appears in
literature like this.

I get red kites in my garden...used to have a load of buzzards but now we see more kites...they are huge and their wing span covered both sides of the road - almost ran one over as it had a rabbit in the middle of the road, was surrounded by crows, we didn't notice the kite until we were up close and it ran and flew in front of the car...beautiful birds best photoes on this website: red kites another good site: buzzards (the grayscales at the bottom enlarge into colour)

Neat photo!
The kite on the top left is eating while flying, perhaps
an avian multi-tasker.

The bird-song of the buzzard woke my dog from her nap.
Really surprised me as well.

It always tickled my fancy the you can 'saw down a tree' then proceed to 'cut it up' It's also funny that the 'word' elevator only expresses the up-function. Taking the thing by its word you should walk down.
