In NE Oklahoma and a red tailed hawk just flew into our window. Now hopping with hurt wing. Humane society said call Game Warden. Anybody know of anyone else that might help hurt hawks? I will check for answers in Natter. Thanks.
-Update. Have called a few numbers and been told that the way that I describe the bird it just has a concussion and should recover in 1-3 hours, so the best thing to do is wait. The bird is just sitting by the lake and looking at the water right now, chillin' in the shade. I got close to it a couple times, just to see how hurt it was. That's a big freakin' bird!
-update 2. It's been 3 hours and the hawk still isn't flying. She hasn't strayed far though. Talked to a couple other people and they said this was very normal. Since she isn't full grown and momma bird's nest is only a few yards away, rescue people said momma bird would try and feed her for a couple days even if she is slightly injured. I'm worried about night predators. Rescue people said the hawk should be able to climb a tree to get away from predators...but I would have liked to see some evidence of that for me to believe them.
Organizing our DVD shelves, have discovered we have two complete BSG sets. (Minus Razor.)

Could I request some positive patented ~ma for tomorrow, aimed toward NC, please? Much appreciated.
Thank you for the cat-ma. Maggie is feeling much better. At least, she's back to poaching food from the dog's bowl. She's been telling me to go fuck myself a lot, though. I don't think she likes the antibiotics.
I got a job! And accepted it! And have to start in a month, and need to find an apartment and move and all of that stuff by then!
Thanks for the ~ma--that's powerful stuff! Releasing it back into the pool.
I'm defending my dissertation at 1. Any ~ma sent my way would be greatly appreciated.
If I could get some of the wonderful NOT CANCER Buffista ~ma directed toward a very dear friend, I would be very grateful. We'll know by Friday.
Hey Buffistas!
As some of you may know, I'm applying for Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window, which is a really great full scholarship that's given for a semester in Europe. Now, one of the forms I have to give to them is a Certification of Language Proficiency, to confirm I actually know English.
And you know, I could ask from one of my lecturers to sign it for me. But I feel like it would be so much more true, and a hell lot cooler, if one of the Buffista doctors/professors would do so instead: if anyone on Earth knows I know English, it's you, guys. I'd be much obliged to any Buffista doctor or professor who would be willing to sign the form for me. Profile addy is good.
