I just stepped outside to check the weather and the mail. I walked about 5 steps to see a huge Redtail Hawk flying towards me carrying something in his/her talons. As it swooped above me it dropped what it was carrying. The object flew about 3 inches above my head and landed ON my grill 6 ft. behind me. It is a dove. Seeing that it is still alive, I reach down with the intention of putting it into the bushes to recoup. The thing flys up and hits me square in the face, falls to the ground, then flys off.
All I can think sitting here is Holy Cow ,What just happened.
WAY more bizarre than I can explain.

Sorry no photos. All this took place in a span of about 15 seconds.
I'm beginning to think I just missed lunch.

I once saw a duck (mallard) fly right into a guy's bike spokes while he was riding down to campus. Sometimes there is just no understanding the bird.

NATURE IS COOL.. you just witnessed an extreme life and death situation between those two animals.. luckily, one got away, and one goes hungry, but YOU WERE THERE. gotta feel a certain level of coolness about that.
plus, its a lot better story than just coming in and screaming,
"THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!"

That is exactly what my first thought was.
As I've sat and thought about it more, I think maybe its Gods way of saying, I'll provide for you when you need it.
Which will have to be pretty soon if I dont get some work in the next week or so.

Gee, thanks God... I'm hungry and you drop a dove on my barbeque. That's it... Buddha? Ganeesh? Someone up there got a ribeye?
