Free in Central Park

Received yesterday, 8/28, from Murray Head  and a PS:

Hi Marie,

Recently one of Pale Male's three offspring was seriously injured. 

He had flown into a roof-top glass enclosed swimming pool on the upper East Side and suffered head trauma. Young hawks have not yet learned to recognize such obstacles.

He was driven by a dedicated animal rescue worker to WINORR* where he received the care and rehabilitation needed so he could be released back to the park. 

He was released today [8/28] at Cedar Hill in Central Park by WINORR's Bobby Horvath and Cathy St. Pierre

PS  some additional facts from WINORR [sent by Murray Head today]:

Reported from WINORR

"He was treated with medication and hand fed cut up food until he recovered and became a hawk again. Luckily he had no other injuries and was returned to his territory today and flew off nicely. A few hours later it was reported that his father showed up and sat next to him on a branch."
