10,000 Birds

MAY 9, 2022

The love that Montgomery feels for the hawk and its wildness will never be reciprocated: a raptor is not a dog or a horse. It’s not clear from the book’s ending, but it sounds like she abandoned her nascent apprenticeship because of her traveling schedule, her marriage, and her own chickens who would certainly be killed if she kept a hawk.

This year it was an American Crow ( Corvus brachyrhyncus ), though at home in Albany, New York, it’s just as likely to be – and has been in the past – a Fish Crow ( Corvus ossifragus ). Well, it’s happened again – my first bird of the year was a crow. It’s all very inevitable, really. Just leave enough corn for the bourbon, please.

To the Editor: “ Getting Bacon the Hard Way: Hog-Tying 400 Pounds of Fury ” (front page, June 21), about Texas hog hunters, illustrated the barbarity of hunting with dogs. As the dogs tear chunks of flesh from the terrified pig, the hunters undoubtedly feel proud of their accomplishment.

You have used up all your New York blogging material. It flared its wings, and the Osprey flared to match but refused to abandon the fish. If these two events were fables, the Ravens would have switched roles in mere minutes from big hulking bullies to cunning, dogged little fighters. This seemed sensible, so I did.
