An actual "tiger hawk"!
From friend and neighbor Fausta Wurtz:

FEATHERED FRIEND: Princeton Animal Control Officer Mark Johnson holds the recently rehabilitated red-tailed hawk that was captured four weeks ago on the Princeton University campus. Suffering from a concussion and West Nile virus, the hawk was treated at the Mercer County Wildlife Center before being released on Monday.
Now we just need somebody to catch a tiger on the University of Iowa's campus. Not holding my breath, of course.

Perhaps he was the earliest victim of the Obamanut union thugs.

Don't laugh. Last year a 150-pound mountain lion was roaming the 3400 north block of Chicago. Sadly, Chicagoans did not celebrate the diversity, but shot the beast. [Tribune]

A few years back I had the pleasure of watching a nesting pair of redhawks raise their offspring. They'd chosen a tall tree in a neighbor's back yard so we watched them come and go for weeks. We weren't prepared for their diet to include local squirrels. Did you know that squirrels can scream?
