But they're hard to tell apart being so similar.

Grams.....amazing. The birds had to be .just. hungry enough to go after the doves or ducks (depending on the species of hawks used). If they were too hungry they might fly off with the prey and if they were not hungry enough they would not fly at all. <br /><br />Who knew?!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-27390585596292543062011-01-24T22:18:12.986-05:002011-01-24T22:18:12.986-05:00You are a heroine.You are a heroine.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-69780028929580205312011-01-24T21:18:19.075-05:002011-01-24T21:18:19.075-05:00Damn circle of life!
