This is for all you birdlovers, Fab Foto Friday-lovers, Red Tail hawk lovers and anyone who has been following the story of the Red Tail hawk who flew into the NY Times building. He was trying to fly out of an interior courtyard atrium and flew smack into a window twice and fell to the ground stunned. Avian emergency! NY Audubon was called and a falconer was dispatched to rescue the bird. The injured hawk was brought to Wildlife in Need and Rescue and Rehabilitation in Long Island where it was confirmed the juvenile did not have a broken wing and the prognosis was good. TODAY on Valentine’s Day, Newshawk (as he was dubbed) was brought to Central Park and released in Tupelo Meadow in The Ramble. The photographer in the picture is Murray Head, my Fab Foto Friday source. Hooray!!! Below is a link to the photo and if you cruise around there you can follow links to read the whole story.
