One less mouse…
Hmmmm… to bad I can’t file a patent application for this mousetrap now that I work at the USPTO. We were pretty surprised to see this guy in our back yard this evening. But the benefits to having a hawk (I think this is a juvenile sharp-shinned hawk) were clear when he (or she) starting gobbling down the mouse. That’s one mouse Zip Drive doesn’t need to hunt down for us should it have gotten into the house.

So readers, what's the dif between a falcon and a hawk? (Is it just a matter of a pinion?)
