We had a cat name o Hudson. He disappeared, in his prime. We live near a wood, and there are always hawks and sometimes eagles circling overhead. MJ is convinced he was taken by a hawk. A Hudson Hawk, come to think of it. No, really. Getting carried away, maybe hundreds of feet off the ground, by a giant bird wreaking vengeance for all the hummingbirds and baby robins and chickadees and nut finches (you didn't even eat); squirming uselessly in the pinchy-pokey carelessly adjusted talons, (and then thinking better of it); getting dropped in a treetop nest and pecked to death and strips torn off ya and eaten by beaky momma and her fluffheads, would upset a cat.

Oh geese too......missed this part. I live in the Bay Area and a close BIG city is Oakland....you know Jerry Browns city . In the middle of basically downtown Oakland is a lake. Very pretty, people jog around it, row in it. In the lake is small island that is a bird sanctuary. Huge flocks of geese have inhabited the lake. Every spring they start a new family and the flock is substantial at this point. The geese swim over to the grass that lines the edge of the park and eat all day while people jog and walk by. It is so amazing how they co-exist with people in this urban setting. It is truly beautiful to see. IMHO Melinda
