At this time of year, you may see young birds making their first forays outside the nest. Despite its lack of experience, a bird must learn to fend for itself. The plight of the young bird is illustrated by this encounter between predator and prey, as a young hawk first sets out to hunt. The young hawk spies its prey! Then, with determination, persistence-and a small bomb, it eventually subdues the much larger chicken.
BirdNote wishes to thank Henery Hawk and Foghorn Leghorn for their appearance in today's show.

Chicken Hawk Tackles a Big One
Written by John Kessler
This is BirdNote!
This time of year, you may see young birds making their first forays outside the nest.
Despite its inexperience, each bird must learn to fend for itself.
The plight of the young bird is illustrated by this encounter between predator and prey, as a young hawk sets out on its first hunting expedition.
First, the young hawk spies its prey...
And the young hawk does try again. With determination, persistence, and … the right tool, it eventually subdues the much larger chicken.
BirdNote wishes to thank HENERY HAWK and FOGHORN LEGHORN for their appearance on today's show. I say, I say, I’m Michael Stein.
