San Bernardino County community raises alarm after several red-tailed hawks found injured

What did you think?

The X-ray shows what happened to one hawk's wing: a pellet-gun shot fractured two bones. Veterinarian Karen Zagorsky presents the images in CBS LA's report on injured red-tailed hawks found in Highland, California.

Three birds were discovered over three weeks near the intersection of San Francisco Street and Francisco Court. The report follows their care at Bear Paw Ranch Rehabilitation Center in nearby Yucaipa, where wildlife rescuer Candy Cantzler describes the goal in simple terms: "If we can get one returned back to where it came from, then it's worth it."

The report drew about 37,000 views in its first day, roughly twelve times the channel's usual start for a Short. Its comment section was also unusually busy, with viewers thanking the people caring for the hawks and calling for accountability. Some offered theories about who might be responsible, but the report identifies no perpetrator.

CBS LA notes that red-tailed hawks are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, with fines and possible jail time for harming them. The pellet wound is documented in one bird; the report does not establish that all three suffered the same injury.

Two hawks are expected to recover. The third needs specialized wing surgery to survive.
