I got some new photos of the Swainson’s hawks that nest near our home in Prescott. The other day I saw one of these on our porch. They are insectivores, likely it was hunting for grasshoppers or cicadas which are very numerous at this time of the year.
Here’s the pair together in a tree

NEW YORK (AP) — For a year, David Berkowitz terrorized New York.
The papers called him the “.44 Caliber Killer.” In taunting notes to police and a journalist, he called himself “Mr. Monster,” the “Son of Sam.”

This killer went to the same high school that I graduated from, Christopher Columbus HS in the Bronx, NY. He’s a little older than I, I did not know him in school. A friend of mine from those days has two older brothers, one of whom was in the same home room class as the Son of Sam. I wrote a post about the closing of my high school here.
Sweet high school memories – not!
