One dove down on top of the other one, then stood on top of him for about a minute until I went outside and they both flew away. Looks like the bottom one got bitch slapped hawk-style. http://randomscreations.freewebspace.com/images/hawk_attack.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Pics worked for me. I was out washing my car one day this last summer and some sort of Hawk swooped down into the bush that's at the end of the driveway going after another smaller bird. There was some rustling in the bush, and then the Hawk took off. Didn’t get a good enough of a look to see if the Hawk had anything or not. It was pretty neat to watch, you just don’t see birds like that in the city too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiG BeN Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 about a month ago i saw one flying low over the darby carrying what appeared to be about a 2lb smallie. that damn bird did better than i did that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Birds of prey > * Had a pair of red tails by our old house for a couple yers, pumped out some young'ns. Used to see them hunt in the feilds. Anyone ever see an owl? A few years back I saw a HUGE horned owl take a squirrel up in St Ignace michigan. THe Owl had to have a wing span of about 4-5ft and didn't make a fuckin sound, I mean none, not even a wooosh, just the scream of the squirrel when it got hit. I was quite amazed.

pg Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 My friend's family takes in hurt wild animals, they used to have a flight cage in their backyard, they had three hawks in there and they would get baby deer in during the spring and we would feed them a long time ago, it was sweet. They still have a barn owl that got one wing cut off that lives in their house with them, they are one of the softest birds I've ever felt.

BiG BeN Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 i was under the impression that birds of prey are not for sale, and you had to trap your own for falconry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 ney, there are "retailers". BUT, to get your liscense, you do have to trap your own and train it. Its actualypretty rare to even see a coopers hawk round here. To see 2, and to have them fight in your front yard...go buy a lotto ticket.

I was quite amazed.I can remember, as a kid, being at COSI and seeing a demonstration on bird wings. They had both an owl wing as well as a duck wing. Swing the duck wing, all kinds of noise. Swing the owl wing - nothing, complete silence. The person doing the demonstration was even kind of witty; they remarked that duck's wings can be noisy because corn can't hear them coming. Natural selection > * Also, anyone suprised that the dead hawk looked as big as the killer hawk? My thinking would be that a hawk wouldn't mind taking out a much smaller hawk - that's easy prey, right? However, this hawk must be some kind of ninja hawk. I agree - those are awesome pictures.
