It is  amusing or annoying depending on your perspective.  I’m talking about the the bright eyed, cocky little black birds (I think they are grackles) that steal sugar packets and any thing else available from your food tables at Café del Lago.  It can certainly diminish a peaceful breakfast in paradise.  What is the resort to do?   They certainly can’t send out someone with a .22 or a pellet gun.  The PETA people would have a field day and  someone could get hurt to boot.   Vidanta has come up with a brilliant and entertaining solution.   They have hired an outside contractor to bring in a Harris Hawk that is trained to fly through the restaurant to make the grackles fear for their life and clear out (at least for a few minutes)

It is fun to watch these magnificent birds in action.   And it can occasionally cause some excitement.   Our friend Debbie got quite a jolt when the raptor soared over her head, clearing it by about 6 inches.   It is a free show every day.   As we have said before this the best buffet in the world and the grackle discouraging Harris Hawk  is just a free bonus.  harris hawk
