of the flock; and the hawk followed them but did not get either of them. He then returned to the flock and dashed through, two or three times when a single bird dropped out of the flock with the hawk in close pursuit. That time he succeeded in catching the bird and flew off with it in his talons to a line of low posts. He flew from post to post until he was some distance from the roadway and then proceeded to eat his victim. - Yucca Club.
