poor Peregrine


driving to the landfill yesterday, hooked a right off a rotary onto a four lane road. lane three contained the crumpled, but recognizable, by the wing jutting jaggedly up, that I just passed a Peregrine Falcon on the roadway. I was going to pull into a drive to remove it from the indignity of the highway, when realizing, just by touching it I could go to jail. was even inhibited to call any authority figure/s, fearing the pointed finger, I did nothing. feel like I committed an act against nature, will not forget this unexpected sad spectacle in the highway.
oddly, a few days before, during a light rain, there was a flash outside my window, the white caught my eye, the underside of wings, moving rapidly. a red tailed hawk came to roost in the maple tree outside my window. large raptor, all hunched down in the rain, at first it looked like a great horned owl, the outline. the color, and the launch when the raptor took to flight, the huge wingspan, and the rapid disappearance from sight was a sight to behold.
strange circumstances.
