At Bay View State Park:

CJB reclines on the grass near sunset, alternately reading a microeconomics textbook and watching a small brown rabbit work its way across the lawn maybe twenty feet away. Bright black eyes, twitchy nose. Richard Scarry city!

A red-tailed hawk plunges like a meteor, claws extended, and nails the rabbit right in the neck. Abrupt crack! of breaking bone.

The hawk digs into dinner, long beak rooting in blood-soaked fur. Red in tooth & claw, & etc.
