Immature red-tailed hawk that flew into the side of a young man's truck. He took the time to bring the bird to the vet clinic where we x-rayed it and evaluated it. No broken bones, no obvious injuries, just a very thin young hawk. It readily ate three thawed mice at the vet clinic, so I've made arrangements to get it to a rehab center with proper flight cages for long-term care. Finally, a hopeful situation! I love working in wildlife rehabilitation but the heavy losses can weigh on me, at times. I know it's the nature of the job but it's still a drag. I guess that makes successful rehab cases that much more rewarding, though.

Looks as bright as a button. Those claws though! More vicious than my cat when she was young.
