Friday April 18th, 2008 An Osprey Rescue

I had an emergency call from a Good Samaritan from the other side of the woods about an apparent hawk that was injured. Understanding that the baby owlet would be fine I called the Good Samaritan that found the Owlet and explained the Urgency of this possible hawk and set her pick up off till I helped this apparent hawk. Upon arrival to this apparent hawk. I discovered that it was a young Osprey with an apparent broken leg. I contacted a wildlife Doctor for advise and transported the Osprey and kept it warm and out of harms way until it could be transported to American Wild Life Foundation. In Molalla Oregon.
