I just want to say that sometimes I find it difficult to say in words how I really feel. I found it very upsetting and heartbreaking to find him that way. I know these things happen all the time in nature, but I guess I have become somewhat attached to these beautiful birds.
I can only imagine, it's my worst nightmare yet I know I will have to deal with it eventually. When I found the hawk on the road last week, even though it wasn't one of our boys - it still broke my heart to see the hawk that way.
The one silver lining here RCF is that you were able to take it off the road. Try to hold on to that thought, at least he can now be laid to rest with some dignity instead of laying on the road as cars continued to go over him. I know it's a small thing but I"d like to think it might make a difference especially to the parents if they could see the little guy and to his sister. You did a good thing RCF..even though it may not feel so good at the moment.
