Phenial T. Hawk

On Rt. 53, just west of Research Park Drive, there was a hawk that sat on the power lines and poles and watch the traffic. We'd see him almost every time we went to the cabin and would always look for him. We named him Phenial T. (for The) Hawk, because he looked like a finial on top of the poles. I was looking for him this morning when I suddenly saw a dead hawk in the middle of the road. "Oh, God, NO!"

I kept looking, but did not see Phenial. We drove on in silence. About a half mile down the road, we saw a small hawk sitting on top of a power pole. We named him Phenial.
