Re: [mou-net] Best Bird While Not Birding?

[Bill Kahn]

Long before I even started birding and while attending the University  
of California at Santa Barbara (darned ornithologists who taught  
zoology courses that I took for my anthro major made me do it for  
labs; now I can't quit), I was working out on my bicycle on a frontage  
road of the Pacific Coast Highway in Goleta where I lived, I scared up  
a jack rabbit in the brush who shot off ahead of me, parallel to the  
road. The rabbit was scooped up directly in front of me by a Red- 
tailed Hawk who had spotted the rabbit while soaring over the area and  
swooped down for it in typical Red-tail fashion. It was a great  
workout ride, one of my best.
