coasty Senior Member Registered: 06/22/01 Posts: 3422 Loc: Asheville, NC, USA	Recently met a man who has 2 red tailed hawks that he hunts with. They mostly kill rabbits and squirrels. I am looking forward to going on a hunt with him. We have a nesting pair near our house and see them often. Yesterday one stopped by in the upper branches of an oak tree and finished off a pigeon it had just killed. What powerful flyers! _________________________ Have you seen the Arrow? WWW

Cali Military Advisor - USAF Member Registered: 07/31/06 Posts: 916 Loc: Barksdale AFB, La	Saw these when I was TDY in Alaska, some marines thought they were tough and one almost got stumped to death....lucky his friends stopped him. When I was stationed there, Moose use to come into base housing all the time. A little scary when you have young kids running around. _________________________ i5-2500k @ 3.3, Asus P8Z77-V LE mobo Windows 7 64-bit, 8GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB, 8800GT 512MB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, CH Franken-Potato (Stick, Throttle and Pedals) TM Cougar MFD's, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard

It was like looking for Waldo. Now that I see him I can't help but notice him first off. We used to have red tail hawks in our back yard when I lived in NJ. Great for squirrel population management. Sadly a large contingent of crows moved into the area and drove them off. They kept dive bombing the nest like SBDs toward a flat top. The red tail was stuck between keeping it's nest and the youngins safe and preserving it's own life. It finally opted for the latter, but I think the crows managed to kill what was in the nest before it left. I had been video taping the hawks but over the years I lost the tape or recorded over it. C'est domage.
