“It’s a juvenile red-tailed hawk, under a year old. It has some injuries, its toes are swollen and it has blood on its abdomen. We were very lucky to catch him. He made an attempt to jump off at the last second but he maneuvered the bucket perfectly. Without this equipment we never would have saved him.” FDNY Firefighter and Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator Robert Horvath describes today’s rescue of a red-tailed hawk on Canal St. in Manhattan. With assistance from Firefighter Greg DeBiase and members of Ladder 1 and Battalion 1, Firefighter Horvath was able to capture the injured animal, who had been sitting on the air conditioner of a third floor apartment for over 24 hours. “He just needs some TLC. We’re going to take good care of him.”
