Hawks

Idlest thought of the day. Of the NYRB Classics booklist, I find that (at least) four involve hawks. That would be:

• J. A. Baker, The Peregrin


• Yashar Kemal, Memed, My Hawk


• Glenway Wescott, The Pilgrim Hawk


• T. H. White, The Goshawk
  

Somehow I thought there was a fifth one, but I can't find it at the moment. Is this just accident, or does someone have a plan? Or is it simply the brute fact that hawks are cool and kind of fun.

But wait folks, there's more; Marie Winn, who wrote the intro to T. H. White, is the author of Red-Tails in Love: Pale Male's Story (link), about a hawk at home in New York's toniest neighborhood. And there is always this one (link).

Update: Oh, and this.
