Hawkers

Dear birders and hawk watchers: And there is a difference. Yes, there is a difference between a hawk watcher and a birder. Yes there is a difference between a Goshawk and a Cooper’s Hawk.

I have developed a Koan. I think it is a beauty.

I can not tell the size of a hawk, but I know the size of the hawk. You are in the field with me,  and you point out a raptor in the sky. I might say: I cannot tell the size of the bird, but I know the size of the bird.

The thought: I was in Safeway, but first I pulled my cart next to the men’s room. I was standing at the urinal. The wall in front of me was very dark, maybe black. Then a green light came on. Then a sign flashed “ Sorry Not A Winner. “ 
What was that all about?NB.
