Fun at work

urbpanWe got a radio call that there was "a cool hawk on bird hill," so my coworker and I went up to look. We crept up quietly and found this juvenile red-tailed hawk standing on top of the barred owl cage, gazing hungrily down at the owl's uneaten food (dead mice).
After a while, we edged up closer, and it became obvious that the hawk wasn't going to be easily spooked. We edged up closer and watched it for a few more minutes. Suddenly it flew to a split rail fence, fairly near us.
How near us?
Pretty damn near us. Then it flew up onto the red-tailed hawk cage; our captives screamed at it and cowered.
It was an unexpectedly good educational opportunity.
