SUDBURY, MASS. (WHDH) - A red-tailed hawk that was hit by a car is being cared for thanks to the actions of a Sudbury firefighter.
Firefighter Russell Place was riding on Engine 3 Wednesday when a concerned motorist alerted him to a hawk that appeared to have been hit by a car, according to a post on the Sudbury Firefighters IAFF Local 2023 Facebook page.
Place was able to calm the hawk before wrapping it in a blanket.
Animal control has since taken the custody of the bird and will provide care.
