Red Tail surprise
One of the local Red Tails got stuck in my green house .
They are quite large up close and a bit intimidating . He was trying to fly through the green house plastic. There is only one way out I talked soothingly to it and opened the door wide and tried to steer him toward it. Eventually he got the idea . Do not know who was more nervous me or ole Red . After he got out he sat on a branch near by and stared me for a few minutes . He was prolly after snakes the snakes love my green house. He tore things up a bit but all in all I found it an invigorating experience. The dogs just watched did not even bark. If I go outside and emulate a hawk screech they will return the shout out and fly by. I love nature. |

This is too cool! You probably have no problems with mice.

I love those red-tails, even if they're so common around here that it's easy to take them for granted.
I mean we all love to spot peregrines, bald eagles, ospreys and stuff, but the humble red-tail is a very impressive bird, especially "up close and personal", as you just found out! |

We had three of them living in my backyard. They would sit side by side on a dead pine branch, and watch you intently whenever you went into the yard. I imagined them having conversations as whether they should make a run at the big guy (me).

Hooray for you for getting him safely out. Nothing like seeing a raptor up close to remind you that it's only our size that protects us from them. Very impressive critters.
