They also said that these birds might fly south for the winter but were not sure.”This is alarming news indeed, since ordinary red-tailed hawks weigh a maximum of about 3 pounds and can’t even lift their own weight. Hawks may attack larger animals on the ground, often in defense of their nests, without trying to fly off with them. Ordinary red-tailed hawks eat small mammals and yes, the occasional chicken, and they have been protected not only by the state, but also by federal law since 1921. I have no idea where this trumped-up yuge red-tailed hawk goes in winter; possibly to Florida to play golf. Have these yuge hawks gotten into whatever substances the letter writer is using?
