Title: Red Shoulder Hawk dies, egg removed Post by: Donna on 11-Feb-17, 07:24:04 AM A red-shouldered hawk (17-273) arrived at CROW yesterday from Fort Myers with head trauma and unfortunately died overnight. During intake radiographs indicated an egg that was successfully removed and is currently being incubated. We will know in a few days if the egg is viable.
