Carol Reese Ornamental Horticulture Specialist -Western District University of Tennessee Extension Service 605 Airways Blvd. Jackson TN 38301 731 425 4721 email jreese5@xxxxxxx 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...
