Sunday Coopers Hawk Rescue

8/3/2010

Lemont IL- Sunday afternoon a Coopers hawk was found under a Lemont residents porch. After placing the hawk on a bird bath for observation, the hawk sat for several hours unable to fly for an unknown reason. The resident decided to call professional help and contacted U.S. Wildlife to aid in the rehabilitation of the injured bird of prey. U.S. Wildlife was on the scene within hours on a Sunday evening and removed the bird the be housed overnight and brought to Willowbrook Wildlife Center the following morning free of charge.

"Given the nature of this type of hawk, they are the top gun pilots of the raptor family. They like to fly really low and high speeds and come up over obstructions to surprise prey. He must have been going a little too fast and had a crash landing under the deck."

- Mario Jr. U.S. Wildlife Operations Manager.

The hawks condition is still pending and awaiting an evaluation by Williowbrook Wildlife center. A wildlife rehabilitation center operated by the DuPage Forest Preserve.
