I've noticed an increasing number of hawks in Boston the past few years. I don't know if they're actually increasing in number or if I'm just seeing them more but it's pretty cool. They're usually harmless to humans and pretty to watch.

I saw that story that morning in the paper. How freaky is it though, that the person who gets attacked is actually named Alexa Rodriguez? It's almost beyond coincidence.

Hawks are awesome, there was one on my college campus in albany that people sighted occassionally. Our city needs more hawks, they eat obnoxious rodents and have the added benefit of scaring wusses.

Apparently, she tried slapping the bird away.

The hawk attacked Rodriguez, touring the park with a group from Memorial Boulevard Middle School in Bristol, Conn.; she sustained a cut to her scalp and was taken by ambulance to a hospital. The hawk had a nest containing an egg in an overhang near the press booth. The nest and egg were later removed at the direction of state wildlife officials. (AP Photo / April 4, 2008)

There is a nesting pair of Bald Egles at the hunting club where I'm a member. The male is much older (15-20 years old according to a state wildlife officer) and huge. His mate is a younger female (8 - 10 years old) and much smaller, but still an incredible site. Unfortunately, we see them far too infrequently. I have seen the male on three occasions and the female once over the past 5 years. Hawks, various duck species, quail, and wild turkeys are seen pretty routinely.

]... Bald ...The male is much older ... His mate is a younger female ... but still an incredible site. Fred Thompson and his hot wife are at your hunting club?

Usually ARod only gets flipped the bird at Fenway, not attacked by one.
