Two Alachua County deputies aided the hawk, which had what appeared to be a black racer snake wrapped around its neck.
Two Florida deputies answered an unusual call last week when a resident called in about a possibly injured hawk in the street outside their home.
The bird of prey wasn’t exactly injured, but it did have a snake wrapped around its neck and was slowly being strangled., the two deputies -- Chris Dasher and Luis Forero -- can be seen working in tandem to free the hawk, which likely had designs on eating the snake before the reptile threw the bird a most unwelcome curve.
Once finished, the hawk quickly flew away, while one of the deputies tossed the snake a few feet away before it slithered off.
