Driving to work this morning, I spotted a small hawk dipping and diving with great abandon over the three lanes of traffic flowing into the downtown core. Its style of flight reminded me of the swallows that lived in the silt hills and flew over the lake near our family cabin years ago. What amazed me while I watched with one eye on the bird and the other on the traffic, was the agility and nimbleness at which it was able to change direction mid-flight. Then I looked down at my speedometer. I was travelling at nearly 100 kph, and the hawk was keeping pace with the traffic. Incredible.
