Now we need some owls to do the job at night. <br /><br />My girlfriend walks her caique parrot with orange head in Grammercy Park; it is now necessary to carry an unfurled umbrella for his protection but it is worth it for the job they are doing. <br /><br />Vern TrotterSoxtoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222389007668364943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907402354452907168.post-15445097681753705532011-01-09T12:53:59.895-05:002011-01-09T12:53:59.895-05:00Admiral Cod- Aren't they great!

I haven't read the Goshawk but I see there is a beautiful edition by NYRB's which I will absolutely have to get!<br /><br />Quintessence- Thank you for finding me, however it was. Stay a while!

In the early morning I can hear very large Greater Horned Owls 'hooting' in the neighbourhood and occasionally they will land on my chimney and hop about. Have you ever read T.H. White's The Goshawk? It's an account of his attempts to tame a hawk. Highly recommended. You've got a lovely blog here.Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.com
