Hawk Finds Home in Library of Congress, Eludes Capture

(Abby Brack / Library of Congress)

In Washington DC, a hawk flew into the historic Library of Congress and has eluded several attempts to be captured.  The bird, thought to be a Cooper's hawk, has been flying around the Main Reading Room and sits perched on top of moldings and ledges. A rescue team has made several attempts at capturing the predatory animal to no avail.  Frozen quail meat, nets and even bird calls have not worked in the attempt to relocate the hawk.
