I approached the western end of the I-80 Yolo Causeway as I drove to Davis on Thursday evening. I was driving at 70 mph in the right lane in a close cluster of vehicles including large semi-trailer trucks. Suddenly, I saw something that made my heart sink. A stunned-looking hawk was standing on the white line separating the right lane from the center lane. The hawk was alive, but doomed, absolutely doomed, and there was no way to save it. Could. Not. Stop.
Still, on subsequent recrossings of that patch of pavement, I see no body. I hope that hawk was able to figure out an exit from that horrible place.
