Diesel* (Red-shouldered hawk) was retired from the sport of falconry when her handler realized she only wanted to hunt earthworms and grasshoppers instead of a hawks usual prey. Diesel is a human imprint, which means she does not recognize her own species. Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t recognize yourself as being a human around other humans?

There are one or two people I can think of who are sub-human!
I think many of us can.
Snorts with piggy laughter. I don’t recognize my own kind. I’m human. A hog with a blog if you will. HA! Love Diesel. I think we could be great friends. XOXO – Bacon
You wild and crazy thing you 🙂
It would be nice if more hawks would go for grasshoppers around here. She’s a beautiful bird even if she thinks she human.
Thanks, Tim. What are the hawks grabbing out there?
Doves and other birds, rabbits, mice, squirrels, snakes, lizards, and sometimes small cats and small dogs.
Law of the jungle but leave the dogs and cats out of it.
