If it's that bird, it was already originally picked up near LaGuardia airport with a gunshot wound. It would be a shame if it were shot again. It was rehabilitated first at the Wild Bird Fund and then taken to the Raptor Trust. The bird was named "Hedwig" and had a lot of followers. Perhaps the story will help to protect it. There's a photo of it in the article. Ardith Bondi On 6/13/16 3:59 PM, Scott Varney wrote:> Perhaps a bit of optimism is needed here...
