This isn't news,
but what was really interesting was that after putting up with the mobsters
for a while, the harrier turned on its back at just the right moment and
nabbed one of the terns.

I heard a similar story told by Doug Cheeseman down in California. Doug leads
Cheeseman Eco Tours around the world and teaches at DeAnza College. I think
he saw this in Africa with a harrier sp. and perhaps a tern.

Just think how much larger A. C. Bent's Life Histories of North America Birds
would have been if he had been on the net to gather stories!
