Hi, Jeanne. I saw both Hawks today and there was no material on their legs! Quite a relief.

I saw both Hawks today and the material is gone! Yes, I too was more worried than I let on about this. I’m relieved all’s well!

We all remember that tale of sweet Violet and of the attempts to save her leg and her very self, to no avail.
The ravages of cast-off plastic and refuse tells a sad tale.
The picture of the gorgeous Petunias (?) tell of a happier fate of nature left alone.
In the past , I loved to pot w/ Petunias as they are so resilient in the heat or cool, hot sun or gray skies
Thanks for “watching” our dear Hawks and letting us peek into their lives through your lenses.

I sorrowfully remember poor Violet, who tended to her chicks until her leg was so infected/swollen with a constricting item that she had to be caught and then euthanized. Do please keep a sharp watch (and telephoto lens) on Bobby to ascertain that the foreign object is gone. Thanks!

Thanks, Carole! I had zoomed in on the original images (the post images are a bit smaller) and the material was still on the Hawk’s leg as it flew.

*September 2nd update: If you see this comment again I want to let you know I saw both Hawks today and the material is gone!

It looked in the photos of the hawk just before taking off from its perch that the green material might have already fallen off its left claw/leg. Does that seem right?
