When a baby red-tailed hawk fell out of a nest in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park last month, it would take five days and a few humans to get it back home.
for a health assessment, with wildlife officials hoping to return it to its nest. After undergoing x-rays, bloodwork, and a test for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, the bird was given a clean bill of health and approved to be reunited with its mother and sibling.
Last Thursday, WildCare's raptor team collaborated with Cal Academy's ornithology department to successfully return the young raptor to the nest and its waiting mother and sibling. Cal Academy said in a statement red-tailed hawks nest high in trees and face a precipitous fall from the moment they are born. It is not uncommon to spot young fledgling hawks on the ground, but this raptor's fluffy head and clumsy movements signaled it was too young to care for itself.
Golden Gate Park provides a sanctuary for hawks, they still face many of the challenges found in urban settings, including busy roads, heavy foot traffic and secondary poisoning. The pre-fledgling red-tailed hawk gets checked out at WildCare in San Rafael, Calif., on June 29, 2023. The hawk was found after falling out of its nest outside of the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on June 24.
