and who said birds are stupid...
"C J Campbell" wrote in message ... "Ben Jackson" wrote in message news:GMAob.71570$HS4.628663@attbi_s01... | While I was on the phone with my CFII discussing whether we wanted | to try to fly in this weather (typical metar from the past 2 days: | KHIO 311953Z 08012G20KT 10SM CLR 06/M10 A3024 RMK AO2 PK WND 10027/1902) | I heard a loud thump from one of my dining room windows. My wife | spotted the dead bird neatly arranged on a paving stone behind the | house. | | Must not be a good day to fly... A flight instructor down in Reno that I knew used to feed pigeons and doves on the patio outside his sliding glass door. A big hawk sat on a nearby telephone wire for a day watching the whole thing. Next day the hawk came back and all the other birds fled. The hawk just sat quietly on the wire and after awhile the birds came back. Then the hawk glided quietly down. Just before reaching the birds he let out a blood-curdling shriek, causing all the pigeons and doves to fly up and smash into the glass door. The hawk picked a couple of them up and carried them off. He came back every day until my friend stopped feeding the birds there.
