In the past he has been on the ground for a couple days and the parents watch him/her. He might not be strong enough to fly yet.

Mary & Katelin just left with Melvin and say he/she is a juvenile red tail. They will transport him to Virginia or Delaware for evaluation & treatment if needed. He was underweight and maybe has a parasite issue. Really don't know maybe a head injury. Well he/she is in good hands now and God bless you both Mary & Katelin for what you do!! and for everyones help and suport here on the forums....:yahoo: It was so awesome I got to pet Melvin before he left!!

Please take note..Katelin is Mary's summer intern....not me ( Katelin Calvert County)

All of the rehabbers in Maryland are volunteers and do not get paid for the work of saving widlife.
All the time, medicine, food, that Mary will put into saving that hawk, with the goal to later release it, comes out of her nearly empty pockets!

(rehabbers are always poor this time of year...)


We all rely strictly on donations!!!

If you wish to send a donation to Mary to help with this hawk, and all the great work she does:

This is the name of her (501)c 3 Non Profit group:

Hawk Update

Just wanted to let you know the hawk is feeling much better. X-rays revealed that there is a break in the right wing which has already begun to heal. He is eating over a dozen mice per day now and gaining weight rapidly. He is receiving antibiotics, probiotics and vitamins. We will transport him to a facility which has a large flight cage when he's ready to attempt flying again. He will need to be placed in a flight cage large enough to allow him to fly and catch live food. He will no be released unless he is capable of hunting and capturing prey, otherwise he would die a slow and painful death from starvation. If he can't manage on his own, we will make every effort to place him as an educational bird or as a surragate parent with a licensed facility. Thanks for caring enough to get him help. Take care, Mary
