Red Tailed Hawk
Today was spent running around getting the last few items secured in the yard and adding to our stockpile of petrol for the generator. This last was a minor adventure as there was no longer any gas to be had in our part of Portsmouth. I went to Newport News and on the way back saw a Hawk on I-164 get thwacked by a car and knocked into the service lane.
I pulled over, checked it out and it was alert but immobile.
Now, red tailed hawks are endangered, so If I touched it in the process of taking it to the bird rehab place I could get sent far away and fined. Also it was a red tailed hawk...it could take my face off. So, I called animal control.
After a bit a Portsmouth Policeman arrived, followed by a State Trooper. We stood around while the bird glared at us. As animal control pulled up, the bird, sensing the paddy wagon approaching, staggered up and soared away.
