Redtail hawks and me...Byrd

Submitted by Byrd on Fri, 2008-01-25 19:26.

After the call on Sunday I have been seeing redtail hawks everyday in NYC, some even swoop down close enough to my yorkie...OM. That is his name. Today (friday) I had the pleasure of spending all day in Central Park near the place where the most famous redtails live and saw them both, Palemale and Lola preparing their nests as they do every year, hopefully for their offsprings to be. However after a walk in the rambles I witnessed Palemale's grandchild (ziggy)swooping down on a pigeon in flight and bringing it to a branch on a tree ten feet from me!!!I spent half an hour watching the hawk holing it down.,one tallon holding its head and the other holding its wing waiting for its lunch to sumit to defeat. Soaking in the magic of the hawk and learning the meaning of survival of the fittest. I have redtail medicine being born in April, and now I share it with you all.
Blessings.

Blessings in the light,
So nice to know that Hawk is alive and well in NEW YORK CITY :) I just put the new animal totems up for the week and felt a bit sad to say good by to Hawk. There is something so majestic about these wonderful birds! I will look for Skree to day when I leave for the acupuncturist today. He is quite the fellow with a big red tail tending to fly in front of the windshield and then land ahead of the car, on a branch and look down at me with his little head cocked....even though it is not hawk week don't forget to honor the messenger!
