The Hawk Leaves FSEL
This is a juvenile Cooper #39;s hawk that flew into UT/Ferguson Lab some time Wednesday afternoon Oct. 17, 2012. It #39;s assumed this is the first hawk to soar the trusses inside the lab. Like dove which occasionally get trapped in the high bay it instinctively remained as high as possible not aware 20 feet below it could find freedom through one of the large overhead doors. Lab personnel didn #39;t have much success seeking concrete information on guiding the hawk out of the building. The indoor lighting was kept off hoping it would fly to the bright sun light. I observed the raptor and was amazed at its agility navigating all the obstacles fixed to the high bay trusses. The bird flew often when startled by the bridge crane operations and activity on the lab floor. Its flight was fast and stealthy quite. As the day was closing I acknowledged the outcome may be as with many a dove over my years working in the lab. They succumb to dehydration never to set flight again. About 4PM Thursday I decide to run some water on the floor at the north end of the lab hoping the young hawk would fly down for a drink and exit the lab. I also filled a wheel barrow with water. After I walked away from the area I noticed the hawk immediately went for the water. I got my camera and videoed what you see here.From:Festus HaggenViews:15 0ratingsTime:02:44More inPets Animals
