The two hawks soon arrived at their home, a tall, leafy tree at the southern end of their territory. It was the largest tree in the sparser area of the forest, it's highest branches easily visible above the other trees. The hawks flared their wings, losing speed, and extended their talons to catch onto the branch. They ruffled their feathers and scooted to the outer end of the branch, glancing around the territory for any sign of food. After almost an hour, the brown hawk, Streak, finally sighed and scooted close to the tree trunk, resting her head on the rough bark. Graytalon continued to scan the ground, hoping to catch a glimps of movement. After another half hour, he walked to the tree trunk and ran his beak through Streak's head feathers. "We'll find food soon," he chirped. Streak, who hadn't eaten in days, simply nodded. "I hope you're right."
