Where the Red Tailed Hawk Flies

Wild Animals in the Park  

Today must be a day “off” from school, as hundreds of local kids are here at Toro Park running, hiking, climbing and calling out to each other!

They clamor to the nearby water fountain, which, to their dismay, is not working.

Their teacher blows her whistle in an attempt to restore order to this boisterous group,
but there is no order to be had!

I wonder what the squirrels and quail and woodpeckers think when all of these children descend from the school buses and start scrambling around!

Are the birds trembling timbling in their vantage points from the trees, or do they simply look down and say...

“Here come the humans again with their wild children!”
