“I saw this hawk a couple of weeks ago in Mc Lean gardens, on my way to work. It was feasting on a rabbit. It was unbothered by me being so close. After I started walking again to resume my walk to work, if actually flew away and followed me, landed right by me again. So I stopped again to watch it eat. It was a strange, but beautiful experience.”
