After raptor ordeal, lawmakers look at 4th grade bobcat plan

After New Hampshire lawmakers mocked one fourth grade class's effort to name an official state raptor last month, the wily bobcat was faring better Thursday when a state Senate committee backed a plan by another group of school kids to pick an official state wildcat. In March, an effort by Hampton Falls students to name the red-tailed hawk the official state raptor drew ridicule from members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, with one member likening the hawk's hunting methods to abortion and others saying the bill was a waste of precious time.
