Transmission wires kill a lot of birds, especially the larger Hawks, Owls and Eagles. Never! Ever! Try to remove one. The same electrical force that killed the bird is more than enough to turn a human into a cinder too.

Subject: [Tweeters] dead hawk


We were birding in the Skagit Sunday and came across a very disturbing discovery of a dead hawk. It seems the hawk had been electrocuted and fell from the pole top and caught his neck in the metal brace. He is now hanging by his neck, spread eagle so to speak. Chilling sight. We think it is an immature Red Tail. We have pictures which we can send to anyone. It is at the corner of Chillberg Road and Hulbert Road, across from the large red barn, second pole in. If anyone knows how to retrieve him/her and respectfully take care of him/her, please forward this information to whomever can do this. Sad to see the Red Tail like this.
