Default Down to three fish and today I think I figured out why



You don't want a dead hawk tangled in netting

in your pool.

And you certainly don't want a live one trapped
in netting.
My mom works with birds of prey and one of her
fellow workers became very, very ill after getting
scratched by one of their raptors. The raptor in
question had come in contact with a mouse who
had something transmittable and it infected the
worker. Very ill for a long time.

Just for general purposes never handle a bird
of prey. If you find one (or get one wrapped up
in your netting) contact Fish and Wildlife asap.
