Live to Fly Another Day! One Hawks Adventure



 


On Friday, June 14th, a member of the Nicklaus Golf Maintenance team noticed a Red-tailed Hawk on the ground between #1 and #9 and called for help.   




 



The hawk was being choked by his dinner, a snake that had wrapped himself completely around the hawk and was squeezing for all he was worth.   



 
 

When members of the maintenance team saw the Hawk blink, realizing he was still alive, they began to try to wrestle the snake off of the hawk using whatever tools they had available to them.   





 


 Although they had to kill the 6 + foot snake to free the hawk, he was able to fly to his perch once again.  Thanks to the member of the Nicklaus Golf Maintenance team who, with quick thinking and a little ingenuity, were able to save this beautiful creature!
