Coincidently, I happened to have ESPN on just now when they showed the pictures of the attack. I would bet the hawk must have seen the girl's head as some sort of prey, rather than a threat to the nest. Even hawks get confused. A red-tail in that environment is no surprise. Fenway park offers a high, sheltered area for a nest, and wide-open space in which to spot prey. I'm sure that there is an ample supply of rats and pigeons too. The hawk had been nesting at Fenway Park for the past 6 years, but state wildlife officials had the nest and its egg removed. Do we have another curse in the making? BTW, great line, thatch.
That's what I thought. There must be a shitload of rats running around that place (and/or surrounding area) at night.
I saw the heron at Lincoln Financial Field in Phillie when he got Koy Detmer.
Go Cubs Go.....
The first thing that entered my mind was the payback for Tripp...word gets around in hawk circles. Hawks (actually, birds of prey of all types) are making quite a comeback in urban areas. Lots of high nesting sites, and an abundance of prey. We have a hawk that sits on our 13th floor railing quite often. It seems to prefer pigeons, as it catches them frequently. Good for him, and less crap on our cars! Alexa Rodriguez? That's incredible. I do have a hard time believing that anyone reading a baseball thread would have no idea who he was...Wales or not.
I didn't think Andre Dawson had been in Fenway since the early-mid-nineties???
