Table For One

I think it's because we've been going out earlier for our walks: I've seen three birds having breakfast this week!  I watched this hawk move from tree to tree across the field, but I must have blinked when he swooped down to earth; he caught his little rodent before I even knew what was happening. What I did see was him flying with something in his claws. Next thing I knew he had landed, but my view was blocked by some branches and I couldn't see how he did it while holding a mouse. He didn't seem to care that I stalked around under the tree looking for a better viewpoint. It was so quiet that I could hear him crunching as he enjoyed his meal.

Another foggy morning by the ocean.
