Illustration of a large clear pot of steaming water with bubbles still sliding up the sides. Perched on the edge and rising in flight in the steam coming from the boiling water are a group of hawks. A group of hawks is called “a boil”. The words “a boil of hawks” are written as if they are also rising or surrounded by the steam.
