This came through the DNR Warden Wire. Not a good news story, except
that it appears the hawk seems likely to survive. Hope they succeed in
catching the person who did the shooting. The Green Bay Press Gazette
story that is linked at the end gives more details.
"Conservation wardens are investigating the suspected shooting of a
red-tailed hawk found in a De Pere neighborhood. The hawk was taken to a
local veterinarian for treatment. If you know anything about this case,
you are asked to call the DNR Violation Hotline. This hotline is staffed
every hour of every day. Trained staff will provide your information to
the wardens. Callers and anyone who provides information can remain
anonymous. Contact the Hotline by calling 1-800-847-9367, or by e-mail -
LE.Hotline@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; or by text - TIP 411 (847411). Text: TIPWDNR
[space] followed by the tip. The DNR's Violation Hotline provides
Wisconsin citizens with the opportunity to confidentially report
suspected wildlife, recreational and environmental violations using a
toll free number.
The red-tailed hawk is a protected species in the United States under
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. To learn more about this specific case,
