WATCH: Rufus clears out pigeons at Wimbledon

Every morning, a hawk named Rufus rises with the sun and arrives at the All England Club to scare all the pigeons away from the courts.

He and his partner Imogen work hard every day to prevent disruptions during match play.

Aside from fulfilling an important role at Wimbledon, this stealthy bird has become an international fan favorite and continues to receive special attention from all who catch a glimpse of him in action.
