Brunch on King St., Charleston, SC
Aaack! I couldn't believe my eyes. King St. was quiet on Christmas morning but it's still pretty nervy for a hawk to have a leisurely breakfast on the sidewalk in front of a store. He wasn't budging until he finished. Amazing.
It's probably the only time he gets to eat on King Street, literally, without distraction.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I couldn't believe me eyes. Lucky the people living behind the door were out of town or they could have opened the door and stepped on it.

ReplyDeleteHi Joan
ReplyDeleteIncredible photograph, if I was squeamish I would feel sorry for the pigeon?, however I am not. Life in tooth and claw. All I know of Charleston is from Bill Bryson book.
Paul, Yes, poor pigeon. I saw another hawk swoop down to pick one up on Market St. It was easy to get this picture. I think he had fed himself into a stupor and wasn't moving until he was done.
ReplyDeleteI googled to see what Bill Bryson had to say. He described Charleston but claimed South Carolina was boring. I have found it to be the opposite of that.
Good image, Joan. Sorry to say, but my regards are with the Hawk - pigeons are the bane of my life!
ReplyDeleteJulie - Thanks for all the comments. I love them. You aren't the first person to say that about pigeons :)
