Tragic Hawk Deaths Stir My Neighborhood

 

My bike ride a few days ago became a rescue effort when not far from my house I spotted this hawk on the ground. It was next to the cart path along the No. 14 fairway at the Coosaw Creek Country Club where we live. 

I stopped my bike to look at the bird that just six feet away or so. It didn’t fly away, instead, it opened its wings slightly. This is a juvenile hawk so I thought it was just disoriented possibly.  Or, more seriously, it was injured or sick. 




After taking a few photos with my phone I rode home and told Alesia about the situation. after giving her location details she rode her bike and found the poor hawk now laying on its side. She took this picture.
