I was on the phone this afternoon with m friend Dima when I heard a tremendous crash downstairs. I ran down and found a slightly wounded red shouldered hawk (i think) lying on the living room floor in a pile of glass. The 5 pound bird had evidently not seen the window and crashed through it. At first I thought the bird was badly hurt.. then it stood up and started to look around. It was big enough to be dangerous… but I was more worried about it than me a that point

 

diane ran and got a plastic box.. I got it over the bird.. then stuck a poster under it and carried it out.. It was heavy and scared and flapping around like crazy

 

 

 

 

I got it outside.. and flipped off the top.. It ran.. but did not fly .. into the hedge. It looked like it was ok.. not sure if it was stunned

or injured.. i know it got out of our yard. a few minutes later so Im hoping of the best.

 

now.. tomorrow I gotta fix the window..

 

Our thoughts are with you beautiful bird !

 

nite all, nite sam
