Dave Rosenbaum argues Bub Polston bird's uh chicken hawk About: Birds of Kentucky: Redtailed Hawk on KY 206 Adair County To ColumbiaMagazine.com Earlier this month, Bub Polston sent an excellent photograph of a perched chicken hawk. Wendy Burt responded immediately to assure your readers that this hawk did not indeed eat chickens, but dined exclusively on grasshoppers, mice, earthworms, etc. and would not, under any circumstances, eat a chicken. Well, I suspect that Wendy is a fine person who, I fear, has fallen under the influence of a left-wing enviro-greenie biology teacher. Certainly Harry Copenhaver would never have tried to teach his students that chicken hawks don't eat chickens! I believe I can, with two arguments, prove that chicken hawks can and will in fact eat chickens. Argument No. 1 Why do you suppose that they are called CHICKEN HAWKS?Argument No. 2 This argument requires a bit of deductive reasoning but, I think your readers will agree, is iron clad. As a lad at Fairplay, my father did not sell eggs at Fairplay General Merchandise, he BOUGHT EGGS AND CHICKENS. As I recall, the egg man came from Russell Springs two times each week to pick up the eggs and chickens that my father had bought or taken in barter. Boxes of chicks would frequently come to the Fairplay Post Office when folks ordered them from Sears and Roebuck. Almost everyone in the Fairplay vicinity had lots of chickens.The connection is inescapable. Few chicken hawks - many chickens. Many chicken hawks - few if any chickens. Case closed.
