One Less House Sparrow

Today enjoying a good conversation and the birds, all house sparrows until...until a hawk dropped out of nowhere at our feet and snatched one of the sparrows, flew off, six inches off the ground through a maze of juniper. Afterwards my friend and I remarked how it didn't look like a blue jay could get through such a maze---and here a hawk with his prey in his talons through the maze as if he had built-in radar. Amazing the design of the world!
