GlacierThis morning, as I was heading north on Route 29 just before I-70, I 
noticed something peculiar. There was a motorcycle in front of me. All of 
sudden a Red-TailedHawk flew out of a small tree on the median and flew at 
the motorcylist coming within about 2 feet of him before flying back up into 
the tree. It didn't look like a mistake ... it appeared that he was being 
agressive.  Any ideas of what may have been going on in his bird-head?

Also, I have been feeding birds in my backyard since I can remember, and 
have always had Catbirds and Robins in the area, usually taking advantage of 
the birdbath. But this year, I have observed both of them eating millet seed 
and cracked corn on the ground. Is this unusual? I didn't think either of 
these species cared for seed ... especially at this time of the year.  Just 
wondering.
