A week ago Sunday, I was riding, taking some time on the bike before my team meeting. I was on a wooded road in Narberth. I was going down hill, maybe 19-20 miles per hour.From my left I see a hawk come out of the trees in a cloud of leaves. Its like 10-15 feet in front of me and about the same distance off the ground. Since thats down the hill from me, its closer to eye level then you might expect.
In that instant, the thought begins to compose itself in my head. That thought being: ‘There is something small and furry in that hawk’s talons…’
Before this thought is fully composed, another hawk, comes from the right side of the road, out of nowhere. It opens its wings to air break and at the same time block the other bird.
Mid air, it snatches the small furry thing out of the talons of the first bird and flies off.
I wish I could make this stuff up.
