Fierce!
A warm soul sent me this red-tailed hawk for my very own. Apparently, the Audubon Society has expanded its ornithological propaganda efforts into the youth sector with a whole series of plush bird dolls (more easily viewed at this slightly dubious-looking online retailer). The coolest part about these is that they come complete with embedded audio of the bird's calls, as recorded in the field by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. My red-tailed hawk emits two very satisfying, piercing shrieks when pressed on the back!

Hey, I know that lab of ornithology!
They have a pretty cool website. If I lived closer, I would totally sign up for one of their birding courses.
I've actually never been there, because it's far and I'm afraid of birds, but I hear it's nice.
I just realised what a terrible confabulator I am. There are about a billion birding groups in my area, and I haven't gotten near them.
Afraid of birds?
You may have missed Teo's postings on the subject.
