Different Patient

Yesterday Animal Control brought in a red tail hawk.  
It had been found beside the road and the rehab center wanted a radiograph to make sure there were no major issues.  With a cat muzzle on to neutralize the beak and some vet wrap to protect us from the talons, we were ready to take the radiographs.
It did not try to put up a fight.
You can tell what a spectacular bird it is.

 Fortunately, we didn’t see any major issues so on to rehab.  Apparently, Animal Control brought in another one last week.  They said it was underweight but doing well and should make a full recovery. I am hoping the same for this one.

What a wing span. I hope the bird's rehab goes well. How odd that one was brought in the prior week (I assume when you were at the beach). I hope there is nothing nefarious going on with these hawks.
