Hawk Release!

[RedFeather]

... and this would be me, releasing my first hawk. I'm quite happy and proud right now.

'Tis a rough-legged hawk that came in with a ruptured crop - she had run into a window or something, I believe.

After she flew, she perched in a tree on the edge of the field, and was soon joined by what seemed to be a friend of hers - another rough-legged hawk. It was quite a beautiful occurrence.

Just thought I'd post that because... well... it was awesomely awesome, and also, because I might as well be posting something here.

Yes. I realize I look like crap.

hawks are beautyfull birds, this one was no exception... and there's nothing wrong with the way you look

[RedFeather]

Lol... I think there is.

But... man... they're all so beautiful when you see them up close - it's amazing. But even more beautiful to see them fly free.

That was wonderful, thanks for sharing!

Where was that?

Maybe photobucket was crapping out? It does that, sometimes... and that's where I have it uploaded.

Well, I live in Bozeman, Montana. The raptor center itself is just out of town, and we volunteer there on Saturday mornings. That specific field, is just a field around the area in which she was originally found, since they usually try to release them in familiar territory.
