The Brown Falcon survived both the loss of a wing and pneumonia to live
running free in our big backyard for several years. Paul, as he was named,
developed a rather interesting relationship with our dog - they used to
steal each other's food. He was so quiet that once, when he managed to
climb out of the yard, he returned cradled upside down in the arms of a five
year old girl. With that sort of experience, I could imagine her growing up
to be an ornithologist.
In the end Paul was killed by cats along with the young of half a dozen
other species that nested tin our yard that year. That was the insult.
