I'm a member of another forum that has an outdoor section. They know I'm a falconer. One of the guys there spotted a hawk and passed this info on to me. If anybody knows someone who has lost a bird, let them know.
Yeah, I saw it this afternoon around 2:45pm on Highway 11 just on the inside of the flood gates near Irish Bayou.
I passed it on the right shoulder and realized what it was. Turned around and pulled back up to it on the opposite shoulder. It stayed there for a few seconds and then decided I was too close. As it took off to fly I heard the bells and saw the tassel hanging off its leg. It flew up into a tree and stayed there till I left
Here's a pic, It's a bit blurry from having to zoom in.
