Patient #2924 - struck by car

This Red-tailed hawk was hit by a car. A kind motorist noticed the injured bird and brought it to us using the box-over method. As you can see in the pictures, the animal’s right side primary flight feathers were severely damaged and are now regrowing. Once the bird can achieve stable flight, we will set it free.
