We've written about the Calgary Zoo here before. To many people, the number of animal fatalities at the Calgary Zoo in newer years seemed very high.

Not more than four years following the final breath of the last living Passenger Pigeon , and at the same facility – the Cincinnati Zoo, whose place in ornithological history is morbidly established – the last Carolina Parakeet died. The 19-teens were not a good time for North American birdlife. It was called Incas.

I headed over to Cornell’s Birds of North America online to see what they had in their notes about the diet of Red-shouldered Hawks.
