Rescued a hawk this evening - probably an immature red shoulder

[csziggy]

It was hard to tell, he was wet and his feathers damaged. He was in one of the horse water troughs - probably fell in while trying to drink. We keep sticks in the troughs so animals can climb out but apparently he managed to tip the stick out while trying to get out. He was so exhausted he did not try to struggle at all even after he was in the cat carrier and had rested a while. I carried him to one of the local wildlife rescue groups so they could get treatment and take care of him. When he recovers, they will release him back out here. I'll get pictures when we release him, didn't think about it tonight in the rush to get him to treatment.
