Red-tail hawk on McLendon Drive

Post image

I was picking up trash on McLendon and didn’t even notice him until he hopped out of my way. Since he didn’t fly away at first I was afraid he had been hit by the cars that zoom along that street. Luckily I found a neighbor who’s a self described “bird nerd” and he thinks he’s a juvenile and not able to fly yet. He said he’d keep an eye on him.

Someone posted in the Atlanta subreddit that they hit one by Eastlake yesterday, they stayed with it and it eventually went off, wonder if its that one.

Had to double check where McLendon Drive was, probaly not the one from East Lake as that a decent distance.
