Red Tail Hawk

Beautiful bird. It was not injured was it?

Nope, it got out fine.

Good. I assume that the bird did not injure you two.

Cha, I stayed inside, (Pic 2) Charger poked it with a stick...

Yeah It was pissed at me and wasn't taking any shit(see pic two) from me. Once I got it out of the corner I steered it to the door and it flew away just fine. The Pics don't show it well but this guy stood about 22 inches tall. I think I was more scared then he was but I could not let it hurt itself trying to get out through the screen.

Believe it or not I have had to get many birds, a bat, and one onery racoon out of there. This was a first though. He was even bigger than the racoon!! And a lot meaner.

You are a brave man, Charger. Hawks can do serious damage if provoked. I don't think you could have opened the umbrella fast enough.

I recently seen a photo submitted by a Wisconsin Outdoor News subscriber that was taken by one of those cameras that you can set up in the woods to take pictures of various wild game.

This picture had a Red-Tailed Hawk getting the worst end of it from a Bald Eagle.

I just wish I had a way of putting it on here.

Sorry, I meant I didn't have an electronic image of it.
