The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

These images are so crisp and clear. Looks like these guys hunt in teams, now that is amazing! Beware the mouse.
We have hawks that sometimes frequent out back yard and all the other birds, squirrels etc. vanish. This has gone on for days at a time. They took two
of our Koi and now we don't name our fish any more!

While hunting quail along the Colorado river, we would often be accompanied by two or more Harris hawks that would stay on high and a short distance
behind us as we walked thru the cactus and scrub country. As we walked, the rabbits would run before us, the hawks would corral and capture one, stash
it and go right back on station to do it again and again as we flushed them. Rusty shoulders? Harris Hawk.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
