This morning we were sitting on the back porch and a guinea came flying over in a panic being chased by a hawk. The guinea flew straight into the side of the house. The hawks have not bothered the guineas before, but I guess they are getting desperate for fowl to eat. I wish they would just prey on the rats in the field. There are plenty of those! We are missing one guinea today so I guess the hawk did get one. :-( Tina On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 11:10 AM, Chris Crawford < chris at chriscrawfordphoto.com> wrote: > Mountain lions often came down into the city and ate dogs!
