Observation details

This hawk kept trying to fly away with this ball of brown (potentially vegetative/mud)... so many times that I actually got worried at one point that they might be stuck on something and started thinking about who I would need to call. Thankfully, eventually it flew away to the tree right above me. Appeared unbanded.
