I've seen large hawks alongside of the road where they had been hit and once when we were up north, came very close to hitting an owl just at dusk. I'm glad that the collision was avoided.<br /><br />Beautiful photos of the hawk though and I'm glad it let your friend get it some help, even if it was in vain.<br /><br />Wishing you a Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-5657909740346728922009-11-18T11:00:59.712-05:002009-11-18T11:00:59.712-05:00Too bad, poor bird, but I applaud their efforts!Too bad, poor bird, but I applaud their efforts!Deborah Godinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175977572194074388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-69460369158853948202009-11-18T09:07:30.596-05:002009-11-18T09:07:30.596-05:00Aw, I was hoping for a happier ending.Aw, I was hoping for a happier ending.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-20377809912938440622009-11-18T06:11:18.120-05:002009-11-18T06:11:18.120-05:00So sad that this beauty did not survive, but how w...So sad that this beauty did not survive, but how wonderful that there are people like Paul around to lend a helping hand when needed.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-6033899559865216332009-11-18T05:53:44.282-05:002009-11-18T05:53:44.282-05:00What an interesting story and great pictures.

The ones that are not able to be released back into the wild sometimes end up in educational programs and contribute in that way to helping people understand and appreciate wildlife. I'm thinking that wild bird rehabilitators would be a good charity for Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604780070187163751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-63189160518837160272009-11-18T05:15:55.864-05:002009-11-18T05:15:55.864-05:00I'm sorry too he didn't make it.
