Injured Hawk on the Yard – Critter 24

Thursday, December 1, 2022

We found an injured hawk on the ground of our yard recently. We did not know why this “young” bird injured.

We believed the hawk might be attacked by big birds (predators), then we tried to contact anyone who could help.


While finding some helps, we aware that injures might be due to several factors, the most significant causes relate to predators.


Interestingly, the bigger hawks attack smaller and medium size hawks for unknown reasons.


Then, what other possible predators to attack hawk?

From Googling, we may find some predators which may attacks and even consume hawk.

The predators include crows, eagles and owls.


Little weak hawks or hawk’s eggs could be targeted by several other animals such as foxes, raccoon and snakes.


By the way, we finally find a foundation (institute) which could help injured hawk. The foundation is close by our neighborhood.


Wings of Hope, a Wildlife Sanctuary promised to take care injured hawk, and please to contact it in the future.
