The Hawk Connection

I was driving through the cheese forest today (through Wisconsin) and was noticing a large number of hawks (red tails, etc) flying or sitting high in tree tops. Why were so many birds of prey around today? I wondered.
Ah... it is obvious... CHEESE.
Cheese? Of course, cheese. Hawks and cheese are connected by a very strong bond and in Wisconsin especially.
See, where there is an abundance of cheddar (or american, pepper jack, what have you...) there is always a large resident population of fat happy mice. Where there are fat happy mice, there are slow moving super-tasty dinners for hawks and other birds of prey. Simple as that.
