To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Anybody know of anyone else that might help hurt hawks?

I'm keeping the link open. On the phone right now with a number that the local nature center in the state park gave us. It sounds like they can help.

And keeping an eye on the hawk. Multi-tasking.

Naturist (?) asked if the hawk was holding a wing out.

Me:"No,Just sitting and periodically trying to get off the ground."

"Then it has a concussion and it should come around after 1-3 hours."

Me: **bullshit, I want the bird ambulance** "Okay, thanks."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Theresa, you might also check out: [link] and [link]

The first is in Gravette AR, which might be too far away from you, but I've met the lady and visited her place, and she made a very good impression.

The second shows a contact in Broken Arrow OK.

Thanks, I'm going to try those places if the other information doesn't pan out. Right now it sounds like a holding pattern. Which is driving me nuts because she blends so well into the background. Nature, you are working against me there, babe.

Hope that link works. It's a good picture of the pretty bird. The bird fell into the chair after hitting the window. She stayed on her back for about 5 min and then rested in the chair for about 10. Since then she has made it down to the water and I'm waiting for the concussion to wear off.

Because books.

Aw, poor hawk. I hope she's okay, Theresa.

Me too Amy. I'm trying to be hopeful without getting attached at this point.

Ooh, that's a very pretty bird!

Now tagless for your comfort.

My childhood summers were mostly spent riding a bike around our tiny town and the surrounding countryside with our cocker spaniel following me around. Stopping for ice cream or soda and drinking cold, clean water out of garden hoses.

Now, I LOVE the smell of my kids after they've been playing outside. Yesterday, we went to one of the city parks that has a wide, low spot in the river with a beach. All the kids wade in, taking their nets and skimming for crayfish, frogs or turtles.

I hope they remember all these times as fondly as I will.
