Love it dirt! Hope I see one!

Dellrose, I hope Mrs. Ed is right too. Here's a bit more hope. I'm sure that wings can break in different ways and the bird would carry it differently, but here's a pic of a hawk that does have a broken wing. Looks different eh? He was smack dab in the center of the very busy rest area in Texas Canyon, Arizona. Some workers -- I thought landscapers or maintenance at the time, but could have been something else -- anyway, they were super cool and were busy trying to save the hawk. They'd put orange cones all around to keep people at a distance, and they had a rescue operation on the phone. Hope it lived.
