Hawk with nail in his head seen in park

San Francisco, California – A wildlife rescue group spent a third day in a San Francisco park trying to capture and rescue a red-tailed hawk that appears to have been shot in the head with a nail gun. A rescuer spotted the bird in one of its usual haunts in Golden Gate Park’s southwest corner, where it had captured and was eating a gopher. “We know he’s gotten some nourishment, which is good because we know he’s in a weakened state,” said Rebecca Dmytryk, executive director of the Monterey-based group WildRescue. At the same time, rescuers will have a harder time luring the hawk into their traps if it’s been eating, she said. “We need him hungry.”  more
