Red-shouldered hawk finally made the "Patient" page on SOAR website

We call her "Red".  Not much information here but finally saw her on the page last night. 

 
 
 
 
I've been e-mailing someone at SOAR and she asked for more details and of course I had those for her including cross streets and environment info.  I want them to know she was in a good area for this type of hawk.  You can click above or here is the text from the post through Sept 21...
 
 
POLK CO RED-SHOULDERED HAWK
By SOAR - Linette
3 September 2018
red-shouldered hawk
Admission Date: 3 September 2018
Outcome:
Location of Rescue: Polk County
Cause of Admission / Condition: collision with vehicle
Patient Status: Current Patient
This is the time of year when SOAR gets hatch-year 2018 raptors admitted that are underweight and struggling. This hawk did collide with a vehicle and the driver is the one who reported this incident to Iowa Bird Rehab (Jenni). This hawk is also emaciated, not sure what happened with this hawk for it to get so thin… but that happened before the collision.
Red-shouldered hawks are an Iowa endangered species even though in much of this bird’s range the population is growing.
 
Updates:
21 September 2018
This hawk is still very thin and still needs to be hand-fed.
