Patient Spotlight

Hawk Crashes through Hospital Window

The staff at Northwell Health’s Glen Cove Hospital received quite the surprise when a patient of a different kind came crashing through a hospital room window earlier this month!

A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk flew full-speed into the large building. Staff contacted us right away and one of our rescue & transport volunteers swiftly came to the bird’s rescue. Upon arrival at our hospital, the large raptor was examined. Fortunately, the bird was just stunned. After two days of rest & medication to relieve pain and swelling, the bird made a rapid recovery. This lucky bird was able to be released just 48 hours later!

If you are wondering where the red tail is on this bird, juvenile Red-tailed Hawks don’t grow their adult tail feathers until their first molt. This bird has a striped tail and will molt those feathers for a rusty red tail as it enters its second year.

Watch the gorgeous video below of this bird’s release back to the wild!
