Seahawks

Here is a little piece of trivia for you. What kind of bird is a seahawk? Is it even a bird or did it just sound like a good team name?



Tim and I finally found a Seahawks game that wasn't on Sunday. We went to the preseason game against the Raiders. We were seated about 12 rows from the bottom by the end zone where all the action happened. It was a great game. The stadium is phenomenal. The crowds of people cheering, the smell of beer and stale hot dogs, our crude and tipsy fellow fans...makes for one great night.



Did you have time to think about it? Turns out a seahawk is one of the nicknames for the Osprey (Pandion haliaetus). It's a brown and white, long-winged raptor. (I guess the color scheme is a little different than the blue, teal and chartreuse of our new favorite NFL team)
