Sharp-shinned Hawk

This sharp-shinned hawk arrived in critical condition after colliding with a window and suffering head trauma. Bird hunting hawks like these can fall victim to collisions while pursuing their prey, especially in human-modified habitats. He also fractured his left ulna and radius but is not stable enough yet to perform surgery. We placed an intraosseous catheter to administer fluid therapy and are hopeful this will reduce the swelling in his brain.
