Another wild thing that needs our help

This immature Redtail Hawk came to the office today with a broken leg.  It had been injured long enough that the leg had started to heal crooked.  Likely it has not eaten for some time, and that is why it could be captured.  Joe will take it to the rehab center in Licking county.  Hope they will be able to help it return to the wild.

It's never good to be able to handle a wild creature but it does afford an excellent opportunity to observe their beauty close up. Thank heaves for rehab groups! You've had your fair share of wild life species this year!
