In PP, they had just "launched" a pigeon only to see a hawk above it, diving to attack, but the pigeon side-slipped and dove into the woods. The hawk did not seem interested in following through those woods, so rose back out and went away. The pigeon was able to continue its message mission, but after a bit of a wait.
Perhaps the reality of the situation would have the hawk quite able to navigate those trees and catch its prey. Such would take considerable flying skill on the part of the hawk. To see how the hawk might have performed in those woods, have a look from the hawk's point of view its flight through the woods, as recorded in this web site indicated below:
