Swainson’s Hawk (Dark phase)

I actually caught this hawk after a call from a friend who found it. It couldn't fly far, he thought that it was injured and was going to shoot it as in the condition he found it, it wouldn't have made it through the night. He thought to call me instead to see if I could do anything. After a wet, muddy chase, I caught it in a bedsheet and took it in a dog crate to a (luckily) nearby wildlife rescue center. Turns out it was severely malnourished and will be released in March.
