just mere feet away
a dazed red tailed hawk did perch
in due time - it flew 🦊❤️
Yesterday during our regular Sunday morning, pre-pancake breakfast walk we saw a red tailed hawk perched on a fence rail. It was right beside the walkway and wasn’t flinching in the least as we approached. We inched ourselves closer and closer until we were within mere feet of it. Its feathers were ruffled up and its eyes appeared to be unfocused. It looked stunned. After speaking with the Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Emergency Office (yes it was open on Sunday morning!) they concurred it was stunned and they guided us through what to observe in the bird and when to get back to them with updates for a possible rescue dispatch. The amazing creature finally righted itself and flew away 4 hours later. That same morning we saw our Blue Heron friend in the creek nearby as well as a Bald Eagle that was strafing the parking lot in my apartment complex. It was a gold medal wild bird sighting kind of day. 🦊❤️
