Has there been any update on this bird? I think this is crazy but I almost think I may have seen him in a tall tree behind my house yesterday. (Or was it two days ago?) I honestly -- this thread, this bird had entirely escaped my thoughts. Truly the concept that I could be looking at a not-wild bird did not even occur. But now I am wondering.
I thought it was awfully fluffy for a hawk. It was colored like an eagle... so therefore gray... and I did momentarily think that gee if it had some color it could've been a parrot. It would've been the right size. I was looking out the window. I went outside to get a better look -- I was quite a distance away, I was wishing for binoculars. Despite the distance and the height, it saw me looking, and flew away. When it flew it was certainly not a hawk. I did NOT notice a red tail, but nonetheless now I am wondering if that was him. (IF IF it was - there was not a chance of me catching him, nor even probably luring him; he was too high up and far away. (Little small birds love the yards behind my house because the interspersed tall trees make it difficult for larger birds to get down there.) Perhaps if I had remembered this thread, perhaps I could've come reminded myself of his name to call for him -- but I think he would've been gone.
