Flaco had been harassed by a Red-tailed Hawk during the day on Sunday. At one point the hawk hit him. After fly out, after some troubles finding him, he ended up being in a nearby tree. He kept looking west and was concentrating on something.

We then lost track of him, much earlier than we normally do. I suspect that rather than going hunting, Flaco was interested in finding the Red-tailed Hawk.

Fall migration has started, and with the fires in Canada, seems to have started earlier. Red-tailed Hawks and Cooper’s Hawks are already moving through, and we should expect to see Flaco interacting with them throughout the fall.
