Redtail hawk.

This is a hawk in the zoo. He has a wing problem and has been at the zoo for years. He's a good ambassador. I do wish he could fly away.

Wonderful clarity, he's such a beauty. Sigh, I just saw 2 a couple of days ago, in a cage too small for them. Really wished I could release them. But then I would be caged up for doing that.

[BirdNerd (Sandra M)]

I sure wish they could all fly away too! But it is nice that because they cant, there is somewhere safe for them to be ;)

[Margaret Tryon]

@msk1p2 Sandra, I agree. And he gets the best of care here.
