Hawk vs. Falcon

Dream:
Kevin has super powers of the hawk variety, he is going to duel with a guy who has super powers of the falcon variety. I don’t know about the super powers part, but I know there might be a fight. I am outside in the yard, it’s nighttime, I go inside through the walkout basement. [...]

Hawks

Dream:
I am with a couple friends. One of the girls is pointing out a hawk to me as it flies behind a building.  I am not really paying attention at first, but then I see it is a hawk.  I catch the last glimpses of it.
Wake:
I have really been missing all the birds and animals [...]

Harris Hawk Gets Shot

Dream:
I am in a grassy neighborhood. I see a harris hawk in the trees near me. I move my head around to make sure that’s what it really is. There are many branches blocking it. There is a middle-aged man standing near me. He looks like the type of nature lover who likes to kill [...]

Screech

I go on a trek looking for Barred Owl. My sister in law has seen one. She tells me there’s one living in the carousel down by Oaks Bottom. She says there are two screech owls 1/4 mile down a trail, in a huge rotted out tree. I don’t know the trail. I go to [...]

Herky?

Dream: Pleasant conversation with a cartoon like version of the (crowish) bald eagle from my dream the other night.
I don’t remember the conversation right now, but it seemed jovial enough. The bird was small and squat and had the darkened coloring (dark goldish head) of the crowy eagle when the light first changed enough for [...]

Already There

Dream: I arrive in Portland, at my brother’s house. I go in and sit next to him on the couch for a bit. He is a little bit frowny, but that’s not unusual. I go peek out the window across from us. It is an awesome view (mostly of nature). I go outside and across [...]

Walking and Watching

Walking to work yesterday and saw a beautiful hawk yesterday on my way to work. I had been thinking about bussing it, but after I saw the hawk I didn’t want to miss any other possible sitings. It was all white underneath and when it landed I saw that he had a bright rusty colored [...]

India, pt 1–BIRDS

I just got back from India, still a bit jet-lagged, but I wanted to start writing about some of my experiences. Bird info to start off.
On the way to the airport:
As we were starting out on our drive from Iowa City to the Des Moines airport (about a 2 hour drive), just before we get [...]

Walking

Well, in efforts to reduce gas dependence and save some cash, we sold our car–on the first cold day in November! After a month of 60’s that should have been 20’s, walking around in the windy teens was quite a shock. It’s gotten a little more mild, and I’m a little tougher and now I [...]
