New York Athletic Club Hawk Nest - Concussion, Mother Hawk

[Donkees]

''An adult female was found with a concussion in Central Park and it now appears it was the mother of the three eyasses on the NYAC nest. She is in the care of a wildlife rehabber and her prognosis is positive.

The father continues to bring food to the nest, and the three eyasses are old enough to eat the food on their own. So, while far from ideal, things could work out for the young ones.

The situation is being monitored by the Urban Park Rangers and wildlife rehabilitators. These situation occur often in the city and I have full faith that everything possible will be done to achieve the best outcome.''

''The situation at the NYAC was good on Thursday. The father brought food to the nest and all three eyasses ate. I’m cautiously optimistic that without their mother there is a good chance these young hawks will survive.''

''The situation at the NYAC remained unchanged on Friday. We’ll see how things progress in the next week.''

1. How does a city hawk get a concussion?

Flew into a bus?

Babies look like they have most of their feathers.

3. Flew into a window is my guess.

An unfortunately common occurrence in big cities with lots of tall buildings.
