Two unrelated posts regarding red tails. First I want to thank Mike Havlik from the greater Des Moines YMCA for bringing his red tailed hawk to my daughter's 3rd grade class in Nevada. He was awesome with the kids and they loved the bird!!! I also saw a red tail last week do something I hadn't seen before. I was pulling into the Ames Lowes when a red tail sailed across Duff avenue from the State Forestry area and lit on top of the awning over the gas pumps at the nearby gas station. Pigeons took off en masse as it landed. I wasn't sure if it got one or even if it actually landed there. When I came back from being in Lowes the pigeons were still circling and the red tail was still on top of the awning before flying off. This was 15-20 minutes after initially seeing it so I presume he dined on the awning. Art Check Nevada Sent from my iPhone
