But they’re often looking down or otherwise distracted and not alert to their surroundings. Dusk and dawn are good hours. Mind how you fly. Swoop down quickly, quietly. No sightseeing or dawdling. Remember, the fat ones are more filling, the skinnier ones crunchier. And any with those popular electronic devices will offer an extra tingle. Earthlings make such great snacks.’
