Red Tailed Hawks

[jdhill 0]

I'm a little bummed out this morning...

There is a pair of red tailed hawks that nest on the office campus that I manage, and every year they have a few chicks, and generally one of them makes it...

Yesterday afternoon, the one surviving chick for this year fell from the nest (about 40 feet)... at first it looked like it might be OK, and we called the wildlife rescue folks... they could not be out until morning, and said the parents might get the chick back up to the nest themselves, so keep folks away from it and wait and see what happens...

When I got to work this morning the chick was dead

Red Tails are great birds, and we love seeing them soar around the buildings (and keeping the pigeon population in check)... it sucks to lose one this way.

Poor little guy! I really enjoy watching them soar over-head out here in West Texas. It's pretty serene, working cattle and look-up and see one. They just don't seem to do too good in the city. They try but, it just doesn't seem to work.

3rd favorite bird after Bald Eagles and Osprey. Birds of Prey are too cool. I love floating down the Clark Fork in Montana. You see a bald eagle about every 5 minutes.

Damn...

I love the hawks... I see many of them in Alabama. Mostly red-tailed or Harris Hawks...
