Pro golfer Tripp Isenhour apologizes for killing hawk, Humane Society to contact PGA http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ap-golfer-birdkilled&prov=ap&type=lgns ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Pro golfer Tripp Isenhour apologized for killing a hawk that was making noise while he tried to film a TV show. Now the Humane Society wants the PGA Tour to take action. ----- By his actions, this dick-head recklessly endangered a rare species of hawk. And that's at minimum. Many would see this as intentional harm. Did he intend to scare the hawk, or actually to kill it? I certainly see the outcome as foreseeable. It's a straight-up criminal matter now.

This account makes it sound like it was intentional: quote: Isenhour allegedly said, “I’ll get him now,” and aimed for the hawk. “About the sixth ball came very near the bird’s head, and (Isenhour) was very excited that it was so close,” Baine wrote. A few shots later, witnesses said he hit the hawk. The bird, protected as a migratory species, fell to the ground bleeding from both nostrils.

Obviously not a very bright fellow.

They could have moved the shooting location and/or edited the sound track easily enough. And buring the dead bird rather than informing Fish and Wildlife or the golf course management makes Isenhour look guilty. Spring is courtship and nesting season for many bird species. The hawk's behavior sounds like it was protecting it's territory from a perceived threat. " Communication and Perception " " Red-shouldered hawks use physical displays, such as courtship flights, and vocalizations to communicate. Biologists recognize seven different calls given by red-shouldered hawk adults. The most common call is "kee-aah". This call is used to announce that a territory is occupied, and when the birds are alarmed.

Many many a time I've said with all certainty that I was gonna get that damn ball in the hole. Or at least it was gonna go in the direction that I wanted. It's much harder than it looks. To actually hit something as small as a hawk's head and from that distance is very hard to do and purely luck for the most part. He may have said that and he may have somewhat meant it, but I seriously doubt that he thought he'd ever actually hit the poor thing. I've played with people that have hit geese on the course. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
