born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May
24, 1941, an American singer-songwriter, artist and writer. He has been
influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his
most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social
unrest, although Dylan repudiated suggestions from journalists that he was a
spokesman for his generation. Nevertheless, early songs such as "Blowin'
in the Wind" and "The
Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for
the American
civil rights and
anti-war movements...

a Turkey, Red-tailed Hawk (Krider’s Red-tailed**), a Sharp-shinned Hawk, a
Broad-winged Hawk: “It all happened in the blink of an eye.” A Krider’s
Red-tailed Hawk flew down from its perch to try to get a Turkey on the trail,
and then a Sharp-shinned Hawk appeared out of no where to go after the Krider’s Red-tailed Hawk. So the
Krider’s Red-tailed Hawk flew away to perch on a branch in a tree, which is
about 50 yards away from the trail. We didn't know where the Turkey and the
Sharp-shinned Hawk went. Anyways, the good news is that nobody got hurt.
