The hawk was taken to SPCA Serving Erie County, where it was placed in an incubator to recover from the cold. "When the hawk was brought to us, he was covered with ice and snow, unable to stand, and hypothermic," SPCA official Gina Browning told WIVB-TV. "He appears to be a first-year hawk. After an initial assessment by our SPCA wildlife hospital veterinarian, the bird has severe head trauma with visual impairment, possibly blind."
