Yesterday I watched a European starling with amusement.  The starling was a=
fter a grasshopper=2C which would go about two feet into the air.  When the=
 grasshopper hopped the starling also would hop with mouth open trying to c=
atch it.  The minute the grasshopper set down=2C it would hop again with th=
e starling in hot pursuit also hopping after it trying to capture it. I bel=
ieve the grasshopper outhopped the starling=2C but did not see the final re=
sults of the contest. =20
