On the way to the Plantsmen's Garden Gathering event yesterday with
friends who are visiting, just before we got there, I spotted either a
Coopers or Sharpie coming from the right side of the road being chased
by another small bird. As I slowed down it suddenly flew in front of the
car and grabbed another small bird off the telephone/electric wires on
the left side of the road and flew off with it in its claws. It was all
incredibly fast, so no ID possible. But it was amazing to see!
It was also amazing that I managed to keep the car on the road while
watching!
