A few weeks ago, while working on the job site, Ron noticed a hawk that had been roosting on one of the buildings. One day he happened to look up and watch this hawk dive bomb a pigeon. Feathers flew. The hawk was dead on his target.

Then a day or two later, Ron watched again as the biologist began clicking photos of the pigeon feathers and documenting info in his little notebook. Ron meandered over and started a conversation.

"We have a new friend on site," he said as he pointed to the hawk perched above them. "I watched him take down a pigeon." As Ron talked, the biologist immediately shut his notebook and wordlessly began walking away from the scene of the crime.

Nature is violent. Animals prey on each other. Survival of the fittest.
