Blunt III Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:07:43 +0000 http://dfwurbanwildlife.com/?p=2626#comment-3274 There are at least 4 red-tailed hawks that dominate the skies of downtown Dallas. These raptors hunt in pairs or solo and literally have a smorgasborg of prey in the downtown and trinity river area. From my desk on the 8th floor of my building, while looking up, I have observed mid flights downward dives that catch pigeons in mid-air only to have the hawks toy with the pigeon and the throw it aside. The pigeon actually survived that attack. Normally when you see pigeon parts on the ground and in the streets of downtown they are simply residue left from the red-tailed hawks. There is an abandoned building adjacent to my building with an opened window at the top. The redtails enter and come out with a rat or mouse everytime, excellent rodent control. The pigeon population has diwindled also and when the hawks are around, the pigeons scramle for their life. I wish I had pictures for you all to see because these raptors (red-tailed hawks) are truly the sky dominators of downtown Dallas.

You should post photos of these innocent animals in your god awful traps and see how people feel about you then.
