Bandit was a fixture in downtown Akron for a long time...sad to see him gone. The Freaklings and I saw him flying over the Akron skyline numerous times. One time a lady at the US Bank building, where Bandit and his mate had a nesting box on the 15th floor, let us go to the window where you can see the box. The Freaklings were pretty young at the time so that was a cool thrill.

RIP you beautiful bird...

"She said Bandit apparently flew into the shelter at Bowery Avenue in pursuit of a mourning dove, hit the glass and broke his neck. The dove was still in his talons, she said."

Sad to hear.... but he died with his boots on.

Well played, Tech. I prefer they change "dove" to "rocket". :supz:

Agree. Because that's what happens when you mess with Rockets- you die with your boots on.
