A Red-tailed Hawk bandaged after a wing fracture and bad wound."The bird can't fly away. It's wing is just hanging there. What do I do?"

Good Samaritan calls are an every day (and sometimes hourly), event at RMRP. This particular case was a Red-tailed Hawk with a wing fracture and nasty wound. Our rescue team responded to the concerned woman's call, driving over thirty miles to help the injured bird.

"Thank you. This bird wouldn't have survived without you." In the wild, an injured raptor won't last long. With other predators always looking for an easy meal and unable to hunt, this hawk may not have survived. Now, he's receiving intensive wound care, fracture stabilization, and lots of time to rest and recuperate. And – all the mice he can eat! We hope that he can rejoin the wild world in early 2012.

Without you, we wouldn't be there for these injured creatures or the people concerned about them. Thank you. Every day, we can save a life, because of you.
