Bill Cosby said that he was 11 years old before he discovered his name wasn't Jesus Christ and his brother wasn't named Dammit... as in "Jesus Christ what the hell are you doing. Damnit, stop doing that!" I still think that is pretty funny
My mother used to say, "If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times...." My father used to say, "Son, now what have I told you...." To continue with that theme I will repeat myself: Things happen so very fast in the never ending interaction between predator and prey. I be talk'n 'bout that interaction thing go'n on in my backyard don'tyaknow.
The little birdies are feeding on the sunflower seeds and millet that I put in the feeder on a daily basis. Then, poof, they are all sit'n in the Mulberry Tree and a hawk comes zooming (as in zooming really fast) toward the bird feeder. The hawk hits the feeder causing it to spin wildly and bird seed flies out like a fireworks pin-wheel.
The hawk continued on without lunch and the little birdies started feeding on the ground with the newly deposited seeds resting on top of the snow.
Elapsed time... about 3 seconds.
Imagine what we are missing just because we aren't watching at the right moment.
