Hawk Attacks Schoolgirl at Fenway Park (Are Yankees Fans to Blame?)
Friday, April 4, 2008
In what some may argue is yet another aspect of the Curse of the Bambino, a schoolgirl was attacked by a hawk at Fenway Park. The red-tailed hawk, which has taken in many a game from behind home plate, lost its longtime ballpark home as a result of the incident. Seated some 40 feet from the hawk's nest (which had a single egg inside), the girl, who had attended the Red Sox game with her Bristol, Connecticut, middle school, was cut on her eyebrow by the hawk's extended talons. The girl was taken to the hospital, and the hawk's nest moved by the Boston Animal Rescue League. No word on the hawk's whereabouts. Video of the hawk from earlier this week after the jump.
