A Hawk fell from the sky…..seriously

On Wednesday I was leaving work and I heard screeching.  I look up and a hawk is falling from the sky.  It hit a tree and then the sidewalk.  It was still alive but just sat there.

I work in midtown Atlanta people, we’re talking 14th and Peachtree…Oh and did you know I am scared of birds?  Like really scared of them ever since my pet rooster attacked me when I was five.  In junior high I would cry when I had to go into one of our barns that chickens were roaming around.

So needless to say I was terrified when the hawk fell from the sky.  Totally FREAKED!  I mean it fell 10 feet in front of me. I called my husband and several friends.  I wish I had been with it enough to call someone to take care of the bird.  Luckily there were a few other witnesses that had tings under control.

The next day at work I get an email from my coworker Bunny that says there are two possible explinations.

Her first thought was the Romulus and Remus story…specifically this part;

Romulus had stood on one hill and Remus another, and a circle of birds flew over Romulus, signifying that he should be king.

Her second thought was this story about the puppetry arts center also in midtown Atlanta.

So either I am the Queen of Atlanta or I look like a bird puppet.
