Having a wild Hawk eat from your hand must be a pretty incredible feeling! Very cool pics. And badass.

Red tailed hawk?
Whatever it is, that's pretty awesome. |

I had some sort of bird caught up in the netting over our landscape pond this winter. I'm guessing it was out there for a day or so. I was able to take a broom to hold it back while I used scissors to clip it's one foot free. The thing blasted by my head once free. Not sure what it was, light colored grey with a "hooked" beak nowhere as powerful looking as your gal. Once it was freed up, I saw the reason it got trapped, there was a dead robin beneath it. The robin was stiff leading me to believe my bird had been there a while.

That's amazing. We get Sharp-Shin, Cooper's, and Red Tails in our yard from time to time because of the birdfeeders. I would love to be able to do that though.
If you know where her nest is you should get a webcam up there over the winter. Be really cool to be able to see her take stuff up for the chicks. |

She picks a different tree every year, one side or the driving range or the other, dont think she would let you up there. She has her limits. Would be really cool though. I dont push her, I have never tried to pet her or grab her. Trying to keep her trust. Do you think her eyas will become dependent on humans providing or will nature take over? |

Hawks are interesting. I've had a couple of ferruginous hawks in my office and they're neat birds; passive acting from what I've seen, but you have to be careful if you pick one up (not that I tried it myself).
