- I’d like a to give a shout out to Owl Moon Raptor Sanctuary for coming out to my house this morning and picking up a wounded Red Tail Hawk that was in my yard since yesterday, we called a coupe of other palaces and never got a call back.
Unfortunately the woman told us the bird was probably not going to make because of it injury was extensive.
