Birds of Prey

This backyard warrior has been eyeing our chickens.  

"Have you hard the secret voices go whispering in your blood,
     Of burning wood and falling leaf and swelling Springtime flood?
Have you felt the tang of lusty wind, the stinging lash of rain,
     As tides of Spring march down the days with summer in their train?"
Ethel Mannin: Excpert from The Secret Voices
