Check out the chicken that has been hanging out on a legde outside of a co-workers 6th floor office for the past few weeks!

whoa, thats cool.

birds of prey rock!

Great picture, should send into National Geographic. How close did you get :eek:

Thanks! I was about 4 feet away taking the picture through a double pane window.

Awesome picture.

One day, many years ago, I was on the top level of the Student Center parking deck at Georgia Tech, and a peregrine falcon flew right over my head.

There's also a red-tailed hawk that lives somewhere on the campus. I saw it dining on a freshly-killed pigeon outside the CE building.

He's absolutely beautiful!

Heh, that's pretty damn cool.

whoa, thats pretty sweet. Awesome that you were able to get so close.

Badass.

Let me come by and shoot it with my 9mm.

Ok, ok, I'm sorry. Let me come by and pick it off with my AR-15 instead.

Pick off things that aren't cool birds of prey, like bowling pins and paper silhouettes. Them bowling pins are sneaky.

Beautiful bird. I spent yesterday afternoon freeing a 6' rat snake from the plastic netting my mother has around her garden. The netting, meant to keep deer from mowing down her garden, traps snakes better than the crazy Aussie on the Discovery Channel. It took me about an hour and a half to snip all the plastic netting off of him. After all that effort, birds like the one shown above will probably pick him off tomorrow. If anyone ever wants a snake, let me know. I come across about one a week.

Predatory animals are almost always the better looking species. How many people have ever said "Wow, that's a beautiful cow" besides a farmer? Not many.

Think about it. Hawks/eagles/etc., lions/tigers/cougars, sharks/barracudas, all pretty animals.

I'm a predator, but I'm not very pretty:(

That is fine and we will all turn you into the game warden for shooting a protected bird ;)

I think it might be just a crow that got partially spray painted.

Is that pigeon shit i see the hawk stepping on? :dunno

that is a cool pic. i think you should try to climb out there and pet him!

Unfortunately the windows won't open. Maybe I could get my climbing gear and rapel from the roof???

Best to leave the hawk alone. If it doesn't fly away from you when you approach it, it'll cut you up good with those talons and that beak.
