Out this frosty morning rambling with the dogs, I was startled to see a
northern harrier go into a swift dive over my little red dog, Foxie. Surely
the bird was just curious, or perhaps had some inkling that the dog may
flush some of the small sparrows in the field, and was after them....still
it was swift and so full of intent that I instinctively shouted a warning
to Foxie, unheeded and unnecessary, since the hawk pulled up several feet
above her...
