Ever had one of those pissed off and scared of you? I was working at my uncle’s office one day when one of those birds flew into the window and got hurt. We didn’t know what it was at first but when we went outside to investigate it was limping around in the grass and squawking like crazy. It was trying to chase us off I think. We eventually got it trapped in a box until the animal control arrived. His secretary has some funny pics of it chasing us. Comparing it to that smoker’s chimney thing, it looked to be about the same size. ---

Looks to be an average-sized hawk. Average for a hawk that is… still a big ass bird. ---

You usually don’t get to see to many of those up close in the wild. Pretty big. ---

who knows. I guess i could spend 2 minutes on google and figure it out. Im pretty sure according to a magazine i read the science center mated some and we had a good bit of them flying around pittsburgh eating pidgeons. Or i could just be full of shit. Which has happened to me before 🙂 ---
