00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:08.650 align:middle line:90%
This guy's got a long name.

00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:17.590 align:middle line:84%
"'Parabuteo unicinctus.' Or,
like we call him, "'Halcón.'

00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:20.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.290 --> 00:00:25.900 align:middle line:84%
You are dark brown
almost black like me.

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:31.480 align:middle line:84%
Your shoulders, the color of
the red earth I come from.

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:39.850 align:middle line:84%
They call you Harris's
hawk, parabuteo unicinctus,

00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:45.680 align:middle line:84%
but I know you as the dusky
angels perched in my Ponderosa

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.180 align:middle line:90%
Pines.

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:48.710 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.710 --> 00:00:54.260 align:middle line:84%
Nene, Chiquito and Briana,
my Chihuahua, Jack Russell,

00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:57.320 align:middle line:90%
and Calico Cat--

00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:58.805 align:middle line:90%
they all know you're here.

00:00:58.805 --> 00:01:00.560 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.830 align:middle line:90%
They smell you.

00:01:03.830 --> 00:01:08.210 align:middle line:90%
They feel your gaze.

00:01:08.210 --> 00:01:12.110 align:middle line:90%
They do not run away.

00:01:12.110 --> 00:01:15.770 align:middle line:84%
Early morning
walkers on Tumamoc,

00:01:15.770 --> 00:01:21.440 align:middle line:84%
they witness that thwack
thwack of your powerful wings

00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:28.220 align:middle line:84%
and behold that elegant glide
through sweet cantaloupe skies.

00:01:28.220 --> 00:01:31.040 align:middle line:90%


00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.160 align:middle line:84%
Little children
in the wash watch

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:40.200 align:middle line:84%
you play, chase your
friends through Palo Verde

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:48.330 align:middle line:84%
and Mesquite thick with
creamy pods and mistletoe.

00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:53.850 align:middle line:84%
Small mice scurry
along the sand.

00:01:53.850 --> 00:01:58.560 align:middle line:90%
Pack rats tremble in the brush.

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.130 align:middle line:90%
Rabbits pretend to be invisible.

00:02:04.130 --> 00:02:07.475 align:middle line:90%
Mourning doves do not coo.

00:02:07.475 --> 00:02:09.979 align:middle line:90%


00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:13.760 align:middle line:84%
Everyone here
understands balance.

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:18.410 align:middle line:84%
And the desert is
thankful you're here.

00:02:18.410 --> 00:02:24.530 align:middle line:84%
In the early morning
shadows, coffee cup in hand,

00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:27.860 align:middle line:90%
I see you in my trees.

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:34.370 align:middle line:84%
I know you hear Aurora's
music and I, too,

00:02:34.370 --> 00:02:37.330 align:middle line:90%
am thankful you're here.

00:02:37.330 --> 00:02:46.000 align:middle line:90%
