An injured Red Tailed Hawk


This is a Red Tailed Hawk that I found at a rest area near NV. I saw her sitting on a grill and I started filming and walking towards her hoping to get closer, I didn't realize I would be able to get as close as I did. I knew she had been injured or was sick because she didn't fly away when I or Tag got within touching and sniffing distance. Luckily, I had a blanket for Tag in my truck so I used that to catch her and take her home to find a wildlife rehab center to take her to. My wife and I took her to the Ogden Nature Center to recover. When we first took her the lady told us that it was the worst case she's seen with a hawk being so underweight. She has recovered and has been at the Center for almost 3 months!
