Holy hawk...

Cool your jets girl!

Birds of prey aren't as easily fooled as people.

(interestingly enough the word raptor comes from a Latin word which means to rape/steal).

Nature doesn't believe in immediate gratification.

The season to 'trap' continues for about 8 weeks!

From the NY State DEC website:

Current Licensed Falconers Capturing a Raptor

When attempting to trap a wild raptor for falconry purposes an individual must have their New York State Falconry License and USFWS (Federal) Falconry Permit. Falconers must follow the limits specified on their individual licenses for the species, age and quantity of raptors that can be captured.

Raptors may only be taken from the wild during the following authorized seasons:

Eyas (nestling): May 1 - July 15 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. Passage (first year raptors): September 1 - January 25.
