Hawk, post rescue (via Origin of Species)
Word of a trapped red-tailed hawk in the East Village spread today and Yojimbot at the Origin of Species answered the call to help save it! He reports back that it 'was stuck in the building air-shaft since before the blizzard.' He worked with Bobby Horvath, a concerned tenant, and the Super to get the hawk out, noting, 'we were able to shoo the bird to a 4th floor window ledge where Bobby snagged it! I was very relieved as it was kind of sketchy and either bird or human could've been very easily hurt.'
The bird made its internet debut on EV Grieve yesterday, where a tenant said it had been picking off pigeons in the airshaft. Not enough, however, as Yojimbot reports that the hawk was 'emaciated and tar stained' and 'had torn off the tips of most of the primaries' while trapped. But he's alive! Good job team.
