I work at a major medical complex (employing well over ten thousand
people) in a major metropolitan area. A few minutes ago, I was
standing outside watching a peregrine falcon as it sat on a liquid
oxygen container waiting for a sparrow or a mouse to make a mistake.
Evidently its patience was rewarded, as it suddenly hopped off the
tank and disappeared into a small hidden courtyard.

no bears or jaguars yet.......i think the geese scare them off.


Apparently, not everyone in urban areas has your appreciation for the
wildlife! I'm sure the owner thinks it was the right thing to do, but it
seems like a darn shame to me. Maybe he's got some tie in with the Victor
Rat trap folks?

I have to admit though, the dozen or so deer in my suburban backyard have
grown a bit too fond of my landscaping.
