The pigeon was not seen until at 10.05 when it came out of cover chased by a female sharp-tailed hawk. It outflew it but hit the siding of a house about three down from its home-yard. Fortunately the home-owners were home, and quickly wrapped it in a blanket, and brought it up to us . The bird was alive . It lost a few breast feathers, but did not hit its head. We took it in and put it in a quiet place awaiting recovery, or whatever, and anxiously waited events. After 2 hours it seems to have recovered. It has stopped panting, and the eyes look clear. If there is no internal injury we hope it will be alright. Do not visit until you hear it is O.K. Pete will update if and when he thinks it is safe to come. Ann White [EMAIL PROTECTED]
