If a photo of this bird (not an X-ray!) becomes available, I'd like to see it Eric Eric L.

A week ago today the Eldridge Garron family on Brier Island called me about an injured hawk in their yard. I picked it up and drove it to Annapolis Royal. Other volunteers then transported it to the Metro Animal Emergency Clinic in Dartmouth. It was X-rayed, and its broken wing was pinned, and the bird is now recovering at Hope for Wildlife. The X-ray photos are on the Hope for Wildlife website. The bird was initially ID'd as a goshawk, but today I was informed that they now think it's a Red Shouldered Hawk. If that's the case, it would be a first for that facility. The map in my Peterson's guide doesn't show Nova Scotia as their territory at all, (but it's an old guide!) Is this a rare species in these parts? If the bird is successfully rehabilitated, it will eventually be released where it was found. Chris
