Last Friday (22 Jan) I picked up an injured, banded Red-tailed hawk from a soldier who had found it on the side of the road here at Fort Campbell (Montgomery county, TN). I brought it to the Vet clinic on base where it was examined and x-rayed. The bird suffered a ruptured air sac and fractured wing I'm assuming from a vehicle collision. The hawk was then transported to Walden's Puddle - a wildlife rehabilitation center north of Nashville. I collected the band number and submitted it to the Bird Banding Lab. The preliminary information indicated the bird was banded in Kentucky on 25 Aug 1999. I have requested more detailed information from the banding lab and will pass it on as soon as I learn more. An update from the rehab center today indicated the bird was extremely emaciated, but doing better.
