Lucky The Pigeon

There was a crisis among the birds Friday morning. There was a huge commotion as every crow, scrub jay, mockingbird, and sparrow in the immediate neighborhood came flying through the treetops in pursuit of *something*. I couldn't figure out what it was, until I got up on the porch and could see into the neighbor's yard. A hawk had caught a pigeon. As the birds pressed in and distracted the hawk, the injured pigeon broke free and hid as best it could against a fence.

And so, needing recuperation time for the injuries inflicted by the hawk, Lucky the Pigeon joins other animals at the Wildlife Care Association, near McClellan Field. Thanks, Rachel, for the assistance.
