From my bed this morning, I awoke to the cries of crows up the hill out back. Their telltale hollering-at-a-hawk chorus. Not long after, I heard it again, and stepped outside to see three or four crows flapping through the sky from various directions, all converging on a spot just over the rise.
Another hawk somewhere.
