Injured hawk returned to the wild in Bowie

Residents at the end of Hudspeth Street watched as a Cooper’s Hawk they found injured more than a month ago fly off into the woods Thursday afternoon. Adelaid Olson, director of rehabilitation at Wild Bird Rescue of Wichita Falls, released the bird after it recuperated after running into a glass window inside a porch. James McAfee said the hawk flew into his neighbor’s porch thinking it could get out the other side but it hit the wall instead. While it got back outside it could not seem to take off and appeared to be injured said McAfee. Animal Control Officer Willie Conway was called and he was able to get the hawk captured and into a crate, and it was then taken to the rescue group. Olson said it appeared to have some minor head trauma, so after about a month of medication and rehab it was ready to go back outside. She returned it Bowie about noon Thursday and it quickly flew off into the trees on a nearby vacant lot. Visit the Wild Bird Rescue Facebook page.
