Talk:Galapagos hawks


 * ''On one occasion, within five minutes of a goat being killed, thirteen birds arrived and sat within 5 m of myself and the carcass. It is not unusual for more than twenty birds to arrive at a kill and as many as forty hawks have been observed at a goat kill on Santiago.

The eyesight of these birds is phenomenal. I have seen a hawk take flight and uy directly for about 100 m to pounce on an unwary lava lizard. Mocking birds will mob hawks in much the same way as small birds do elsewhere. On one occasion, I was delighted to see one vent its anger by jumping on a sitting hawk's head.''
