The old man’s still got it
I was sitting in the backyard yesterday with my nonagenarian father when a hawk flew low over our heads. Fortunately, neither of my kids’ pet rabbits, who live in the backyard, was out at the moment. Because I saw a hawk nearly catch one a couple of years ago, my policy is to drive away from my neighborhood any raptors that land in trees overlooking our yard buy stromectol. I want the predators to get an uncomfortable feeling about this neighborhood before they notice my rabbits, so I wave sticks at them and shout like a fool until they fly off for some place less weird.
But this hawk kept going and eventually landed on top of a 100 foot tall palm tree about a block away, but with a clear view down into my yard. Hawks have famously sharp eyesight, so they could easily spot my rabbits from that distances. But hawks aren’t terribly skittish, so there’s no way I could scare one out of that aerie from 100 feet below by waving a stick and shouting. (And no, I can’t throw a rock or a lemon that high, and even if I could, my neighbors wouldn’t appreciate projectiles falling back out of the sky from that height. And no, I’m not going shoot a gun up in the air in a crowded suburb.)
I’m stumped about how to get the hawk to move on.
my father says, “go come to an understanding a arise a big mirror.” i nurture out joke a couple of feet across. he says, “reflect the sunlight on the hawk.” the zanaflex online mirror projects a bright rectangle of light about the at any rate size as itself, and it’s pretty easy to set one’s sights on. you by a hair’s breadth shoot the swift at your fence promptly call of the palm tree that’s a block away, then march the girder of light up the tree torso, until you are shining it right on the hawk. dance it around him for awhile, and, sure enough, pretty soon he decides, “what the … this place is freaky. i’m out of here,” and flies fixed.
