It is well known to any GGROer that a drooling hawk is a bad sign. In most birds, it is a sign of severe stress, but in Ferruginous Hawks it appears to be their natural response to almost everything. Within seconds of hooding a FEHA, the hood will become soaked with hawk spit. The problem is so pronounced that my trapping jeans actually have a ferruginous hawk drool stain. Buteo regilus is just not very regal at times.
