Wayne,

Yup, that was her! (I don't know if was female or not)

Thanks,
Brad

Was hoping someone could help me identify a raptor. I was working in my
shop the other day, the door was open and I was waxing the Glidair
plug.....getting it ready to start laying up mold side 2. Suddenly a
bird flew right through the doorway, swooped right over my
head........and crashed into the window. Poor thing was stunned, but I
was able to wrap her in a towel and take her outside by the pond and
sat down with her in my lap. A few minutes later she perked up, stood
up on my leg, looked around.......looked at me, posed for the camera
that my wife had grabbed, and about 5 minutes later she flew off into
the woods.

The bird was about 9 inches tall, had bright yellow legs, and a bright
yellow bump on the bridge of her beak, plus bright yellow irises and
dark black pupils.

This was very cool.........not only do I get to fly with raptors, but
this time I actually got to have one sit in my lap!

Cheers,
Brad
