Dogs are usually pegged as a postal worker's worst enemy, but in one southwest Calgary neighbourhood a hawk is the one spoiling for a fight.
Mail delivery in Bayview has been temporarily suspended because a hawk has been nose-diving the local mail carrier.
"The hawk just really seemed to have a hate on for that particular letter carrier," Teresa Williams, spokeswoman for Canada Post, told CBC News.
"The attacks got so bad that she was resorting to wearing a bicycle helmet. And the hawk even broke the bicycle helmet."
About 150 homes have had their delivery service suspended.
Residents say there's a family of four hawks that have been circling above their homes and dropping in every once in a while.

Sounds like a plan....

The innovative design, however, isn’t limited to form: the cursor moves in direction and velocity according to the tilt of the spherical mouse, which rests comfortably in the palm of your hand.

I never saw you before
I never smelled Spring before
Now I'm at your door
And I hope you're unusual
very unusual
Now I'm at your door
And when you nicely ask me in
I'm staring at your shoes
and I don't wonder why
I feel like a horse
We can stray
out on the open range
Missing the everyday
with its hidden claws
Spring snow
And when you brush me
you brush me with your eyes
I think you've noticed that
I don't want to be a bad guy anymore
I never saw you before
but you're unusual
and now i'm at your door
I feel safe and warm
I feel
I feel
I feel
I feel
Like a
Horse
