Injured Red Tailed Hawk Rescue

This ill and injured red-tailed hawk was sitting in the field behind my house. I noticed it there in the morning when I was drinking my coffee. Later, I looked again, and it was in the same spot. I went outside to check on the hawk to make sure the hawk was okay. When the red tailed hawk didn't fly away, I knew something was wrong, but I didn't yet want to interfere with nature. Later that morning, the neighbor called me to ask if I had a box? He said he saw an injured bird, hawk, falcon, (he wasn't sure) and called a bird rescue. The bird rescue rehab told him to contain the bird to a box until they could coordinate getting help for the rescued bird which could take as long as until the next day. It was then we decided to build a bird cage large enough to hold this bird of prey, falcon, red-tailed hawk, but not too big to where the bird would further injure itself. We finally got the bird cage built for this falcon, red tailed hawk, raptors, birds of prey and placed our bird into it. Meanwhile, we waited for the animal rescue people organizations to call back. It was taking some time, so we took to social media to seek help through the power of animal rescue networking. It didn't take long before the messages started pouring in to help save this hawk. A long time friend of mine and devoted animal lover (all animals) reached out to me and said "I've got a guy that does this sort of rehabbing of birds. She reached out to a very experienced, professional vet who also rescues birds of prey, falcons, raptors, owls, peregrine, birds. He told us to bring the bird over right-away. Once we arrived with the Hawk, the rescuer took a look at it. He identified this bird as a young, probably female red-tailed hawk. He assessed the birds injury and suspected the illness to be a neurological disease or problem in nature. Is it possible this bird had the West Nile Virus WNV? The plan was to medicate the bird and hydrate it. Then, if it seemed to progress, he would then attempt to feed the bird a mouse. We left the red-tailed hawk with the bird rescuer and headed home knowing this falcon was in good hands. Sadly, this bird did not progress they way that we had hoped and ultimately succumbed to its injury and illness. The thought is that the bird contracted the virus, causing encephalitis, which cause the neurological symptoms the bird was showing (poor balance, eye sight, wings not working together, etc. It is believed that the wound on the leg and inside the right wing were sustained as a result of the birds neurological condition. It was a poor prognosis from the start. The rescuer knew right away that the bird was late into its illness and injury but wanted to give this bird a chance. We are grateful for his efforts and to all of those who helped us with this bird... the power of networking in the animal rescue world is amazing.
