Help Injured Hawk

[jwilley]

We seem to have an injured Hawk hanging out in our front yard. Walks fine but doesn't seem to be able to fly. I did get a couple of numbers from DNR this morning but recordings say they are full. If you have any rescue contacts number we would greatly appreciate it.

Fledgling maybe?

That's when they get their feathers? This is an older hawk pretty big probably 24in tall.

Here he is

They're already fairly large when they leave the nest, but just might be a little clumsy getting used to flight (that's what I was thinking anyhow). It won't hurt to contact Katelin, though. She's good that way.

Nice pic. Hard to tell if it's a youngin' or not to me.

Does this look like a young one to you? We have no idea...Can you tell what kind he is? a red tail?

Do you have a shot of it from the front (belly)?

Not yet, but going to see if we can get one....don't want to scare him away though. He's left our yard and is in the horse pasture now but still pretty close

Here's a red shouldered hawk, looks similar.

Mary is on her way and hopefully she can tell us what type of hawk Melvin is and if I have to rename... I'm just so happy there are the rescuers out there to help
