Hawk clears out after making itself an unwanted house guest
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (AP) - A red-tailed hawk has cleared out after making itself an unwanted house guest in suburban Detroit.
Ann Duke tells columnist Neal Rubin of The Detroit News (http://bit.ly/15exO2E ) her family initially thought their cat - or even a burglar - caused damage a few weeks ago at their Royal Oak home. A glass orb from an art deco sculpture was shattered and crystal candlesticks were scattered about.
Then they spotted the hawk perched on a lamp. They say it spread its wings but stayed put.
Duke called 911, but that wasn't the right place for help. She called animal control and a pest removal company but they couldn't assist. So Duke, her husband and her daughter opened doors and windows and shoed it out of the house with a bath towel.
