Via Volunteer Louie Lee:
On July 17, 2018, Jeffe was driving home from a fishing trip with his children. Near the intersection of CR 425 W. and 50 N., they found an adult Red-tailed Hawk, feeding on road kill. The hawk refused to fly and its right wing appeared to droop. Jeffe easily contained the bird and took it home, where I met him. I could not find obvious injuries. The keel was thin probably a 1-2. It was alert and aware of its surroundings. I explained what we do to the five or six children that were very interested in our group, the oldest being about eight. I also identified a Flat Fly, that the oldest was trying to kill on my forearm. After the fifth slap she administered, I explained they were very tough. I also gave out our business cards to several people. Due to the late hour, I took the bird home overnight, powdered it for Flat Flies and took it to the ICU, releasing it to Gigi for triage. Jeffe and his children are very interested in the bird's release, and would love to be notified when ready.
