Alright people, I've got great news! :) First of all, after writing my post over here - I went outside to check on the bird. He (or she) was standing in the early morning sunlight. So in such good light conditions, I saw that the eye was not destroyed! The wound was actually very close to the left eye, and so because of the swelling the eye was closed. I could see the 3rd eyelid working. So I guess this means that the eyeball is safe. Therefore I hope and pray that soon (after the wound will heal) everything will go back to normal. Anyway as I was saying, yesterday morning I saw that he (or she) was soaking up the early morning sunlight. So about an hour afterwards I went outside to feed it some meat. Now just as the bird saw me walking up to him, he immediately flew to my left side - Very quickly circled (at about 8 feet high in the air), and came right at me! I at once ducked, otherwise I am 100% sure that my eyes would have been taken out! I just saw something very big, coming right at me from the sun - So I simply said time to hit the deck... :) Anyway when I got up, I couldn't see the bird anywhere. So I went up on the roof. And there I found it soaring freely. Then I noticed something else too. And that was, a little before the sun had come - There was another Kite hawk making noises nearby. I am now sure that he or she was the mate of the injured bird! So just as my bird flew away, that bird joined it in the air and then they both started making their calls! They did not fight, rather it was almost as if they were practicing synchronized flight! :) Anyway I now have a picture, I got one of them flying - The other one was just outside the camera's frame.

I know the pics don't give any idea as to size, but I appeared to be a good bit smalle than the red tails I've seen soaring, and didn't seem to glide or soar the same as the red tails do, if that makes sense, I was wondering if it could be a Mississippi kite? Also, there were three of them soaring around together,idk if that is helpful. I do see lots of red tails, their is a nesting pair Near my neighborhood and I see them both all the time, they are city hawks, lol, very well could be a red tail! Thanks

Oh! Thanks, I've shown these to several people and everyone, like myself, has been stumped. I know nothing about falconry and training raptors so idk if it's normal that I didn't see anyone anywhere near when I saw this "hawk". No one around except for the other bird that's in a few of the photos, and a few smaller birds that looked to be mobbing either this bird or the other large bird, idk, I Wonder if this bird might have been lost?? Thanks again

Thank you. I of course said $200 not because of what Replacements said they would want for it, but on a wholesale price. BTW, there is a great market of younger folks who will buy this stuff. I am only 32 and I collect glass... I also know of a few friends who also enjoy glass and antiques. So, this market is NOT "dried up." Many people in my generation like to buy antiques and vintage items (Including punch bowls) Because they are well made. I am constantly shopping at antique, consignment and thrift stores. I prefer them over the crap they sell at Walmart and Ikea. If you have trouble selling something like this on eBay... look into a consignment store with an internet store.
