fugitive hawk in providence: part two

I found this Red-tailed Hawk again today, still a few blocks from the Rhode Island State House, and still with leather straps (jesses) around both feet. It’s been 8 days since I last looked for him, so he could have flown anywhere he wanted by now. It was very nice to see him alive and well.

Perched on a lamppost, he spied something moving in the snowy bushes below… then he suddenly leaped down and I heard some sort of mammal screaming… it was sad to hear but I’m happy that the lost hawk is able to hunt and survive on its own.
