Frosty posted that link last month. Still exciting to see again.

Yeah he/she rode like that from the lower part of the chicken yard to the front of the house--maybe 150 yds--sat there while my DW got the camera, took a couple of pics and went up into the attic to get a cat carrier so I could transport him to the vet. Never attempted to fly which led me to believe he was injured in some way--turned out to be wrong on that, apparently it was just in shock. One of the reasons for the gloves was that I was afraid of the talons but it never tried to hurt me. What amaze me was how small his/her body was--most of the size is feathers, eyes and feet, the actually body would be smaller than a pullet.

WOW- the most amazing part is near the ends, when you can see the feathers moving on the tops of its wing. I have always been fascinated by big birds.
