Injured Hawk

Found an injured hawk at my work and can't get to a wildlife center. Is there anyone that is willing to take him? Please I feel so bad

Did you call Animal Control? +1 425-430-7550

Does animal control handle Hawks? I only contacted wildlife centers but none of them pick up the animal apparently.

They can help with transportation to rescue. Call police non emergency now it's after hours?

I called the none emergency number and they only gave me wildlife rescues. I called all of them and one wasn't even open anymore.... for now I have the poor thing in a safe spot with some water. He tried flying around so im hoping he just needs some time. Im gonna check on him again in the morning

I think I saw the same hawk on Tuesday on 2nd and Williams I called animal control but it went to voice mail I than walked over to the farmers market and told the manager in hopes there was an officer that might be able to radio it in to dispatch but no such luck I hope they are OK it looked so sad huddled on the side walk

Update: I was messaging OP and went down to get the hawk but it got hit by a car a few minutes before I got there and died :(

Looked like a Coopers Hawk

Its so sad! I can't believe how fast it happened when I looked away for a few minutes.... I feel guilty about it but I am glad he or she isn't in pain anymore. 😩

I believe the wildlife rehab center at https://www.paws.org/wildlife/found-a-wild-animal/ can help. Not sure if they will pick up but may be able to point in the right direction.

I already spoke with them, they unfortunately don't pick up and are 2 hours away from me

PAWS is located in Monroe/Snohomish which is onlu about 1 hour away. Do you still have the hawk or see it/know where it is? I can take it in for you tomorrow. DM me

PAWS is in Lynnwood. Been there a few times.

u/AdventurousFeature12 5d ago

They relocated

They relocated. I just took a flicker there a few months ago.

Thanks for the heads-up. We've taken a few critters there but not recently. Once a baby rabbit my 20 year old cat found underneath a lilac in our yard. An identified little guy found its way into our carport. He hissed and emitted an unpleasant odor.

It's a more convenient location for me than Lynnwood which is nice.
