Field Notes

Description:

My neighbor found this injured red tail hawk on her porch this morning. It appeared to have a broken wing. We used blankets to gently guide it into a cage. We wIll try to find a rehabilitation to take it to tomorrow.

Notes:

Updated - I think this is a Red Shouldered Hawk instead of a Red Tail Hawk.
