Cascades Raptor Center escapee? Wounded Wild Red Tail Hawk? Won't fly, hours on wood pile, no fear.

[@wesleyworley8982]

That is an adult Red-tailed hawk, with no anklets so it is not an escaped falconry or education bird. The bird is clearly sick or injured, so if you haven't called the Raptor Center, please do so.

We had an appointment, It was gone when we came home a bit later. I looked everywhere and could not find it. Two days later it appeared again about 100 yards south, out the opposite end of our barn. It was on our viewing bench, it hopped off to the ground, then hopped up onto a higher fence, then eventually flew off low and leaning left back towards our barn and disappeared. Saw a pair today duking it out for a tree's crown. So not sure how territorial they are and not sure how injured that one was, but it could still fly away-ish. Raptor Center and ODFW have not responded here unless humans are at risk or animal is immobile or barley budging (guess they do not want to waste resources if not a sure thing/capture). We were told Hawks may also be lethargic after a large meal (and we have many Voles popping up near there after recent rains). Was also told hawks may be on the ground if there is a nearby fledgling. I will post a video of the hawk, two days later, hopping bench to fence. Thank you.
