If I was a big hawk I would sit up in trees like this all day long. When the right breeze came along I would swoop down and ride the currents.
But I would never, ever, scoop up a field mice or any kind of rodent for that matter.
I would have to draw the line at that. If I were a big hawk.

My name is carol...

- Most of it is true.
Your title made me giggle. Do you know the children's song "Little Bunny Foo Foo?" My mom taught us the song and it irritated my dad so when we would sing it because Little Bunny Foo Foo "scoops up the field mice and bops them on the head." He is an animal lover through and through!

Jenny, I thought EXACTLY the same thing. When I read the title I was going to reply "You would certainly scoop them up were you little rabbit foo foo!"

At least this way, we know Carol will never be a GOONIE!

Wonderful photographs. Wouldn't it be nice to catch a current and soar? The closest I come is painting, or some poetry (the Psalms are good at it) and maybe colors (sunsets, the sunrise that I occasionally see). Not quite the same, but soaring is soaring when you get down to it.

How about a little rabbit? Please?

I too thought immediately of little rabbit foo foo, "running through the forest, scooping up the field mice to bash them on the head." I always feel a little as if I were "coming home" when I read your blog!!!!!
PS: remember the final line of LRFF? "hare today and goon tomorrow"!

Oh yes you would! If you were a hungry hawk you'd scoop up whatever would keep you from starving. The last I checked they don't allow hawks to shop at Piggly Wiggly, Albertson's, Kroger. And thank goodness for hawks, vultures and other birds of prey to keep the rodent population in check...they perform a valuable service. Wonderful, majestic birds.
