Battle in the Air Over a Goose and Hawk Fight
In Darby Pennsylvania a gander named Teddy defends Crumbeck’s barnyard from a hawk. The battle spreads across the yard with feathers torn and wings broken before Teddy drives off the hawk carrying a pullet. Teddy’s feat is described by Dr. Lee, board of health president. In Clayton Missouri 7 year old Eloise Preiss says a mockingbird guided her home after she got lost from school. Her account, shared by her mother, ties to a fairy tale lesson told by a teacher.
