Title: Cincinnati Zoo Hawk Flies Away
Post by: Donna on 14-Aug-10, 07:36:01 AM
Another Harris Hawk has flown the coop at the Cincinnati Zoo. "Tex" took off during a private demonstration Monday afternoon.
Zoo officials believe he's hanging out in the Clifton area. The size of a Harris Hawk is between a pigeon and a red tailed hawk. Zoo officials say its fairly common for demonstration birds to fly off - and the zoo has been lucky it hasn't happened more often.
You'll recall in June, another Harris Hawk named Tucson, flew away during the Wings of Wonder show. It returned later the same day.

:wave: I saw a Harris Hawk at Hawk Creek with Joyce. They seem to be on the slender side for a hawk. Just my opinion. Thanks Donna! :clap: :2thumbsup:
