A falconry hawk has been sighted west of Orlando with anklets and jesses. This bird is (somehow) flying around with a hood on. Obviously this is a very bad situation, if you have any information or are missing a bird in that area, please contact me ASAP.

Or post in this thread. Please help find this bird, its in trouble.

This is the original email I got from Neal.

A falconry bird was sighted today wearing jesses and a hood. The poor bird had worked it head thru the beak opening of the hood and was seen flying around the Windermere area.

If you know anyone that is missing a hawk please pass this information along.

How the hell could a hawk get its head through a beak opening!?

I got a call this summer that a hooded falcon was free and perched in a tree. It turned out to be a pen-raised pheasant with a pecking guard through its nares.
