Bird is the word

In all our years in Portland, we'd never gone to see the swifts at the Chapman School in the northwest part of town. Apparently, they've been showing up for about 16 years now. But the other night we caught the early bird (literally) version of the 2010 show, and it was pretty spectacular. (Except perhaps the part in which a local hawk dines to his heart's content.)

If you were there to watch the hawk show, rather than the swifts show, it would be pretty spectacular. It's all in your perspective! I think it would be pretty amazing to get to watch a hawk hunt. (Although maybe not if I was taking my young daughter along.)

I bet you knew this was coming. Probably expecting it.
