Today, I volunteered my yard to releases a Red Shouldered Hawk. A friend of mine works at the South Bay Wildlife Rehab. I Always offer up my property to them to release their wildlife, it’s a win win situation. This saves them the time of filing for a city permit (it’s legal to release on private property up to 1 mile from a park) and I get to see nature up close and personal. The last release was a Barn Owl seen here.

This Red Shuldered Hawk was a female, she was stressing out in her cage. She was clawing and bitting wanting to get free. Once released she flew away and circled my house for a bit, then landed on a telephone pole. She sat on the pole for about 10 mins then finally few away to find her other hawk friends and start a new life.

These birds are pretty cool and I’m sure Beard could tell you more about them then I could. But I found this site All About Birds and it has some cool and interesting facts about the Red Shouldered Hawks, even has some sound you can hear them in the wild.

A friend of mine at the Obey HQ sent this over to me, if your thinking about going you should try to go Friday. Most taggers, wannabe rebels and “fashion” dudes either A) Don’t get up before 11am. B) Are still in High School at this time. or C) Are working stiffs.

I have gone the last few sales and usually have found something that I have added to my wardrobe. Also, if you want your house to match your clothes then head over to The Marry Karnowsky Gallery for the Imperfect Union show. Once there you will find new work by Shepard Fairey.
