The hawk was shot in the right wing and left leg by a pellet gun and is currently recovering at an animal care center.
A wounded hawk has been taken to an emergency care center after it was found shot twice by a pellet gun in Pasadena. One resident of the Sierra Madre neighborhood, Cleo Watts, was alerted of the injured bird on Tuesday, when it was found clearly distressed outside of someone's home. 'I went to go get the bird and I noticed it was bleeding from its right wing,' Watts said. 'The vets discovered that he was shot. ... Somebody shot him.
At that point he will be taken to the Ojai Raptor Center, where he will undergo surgery to remove the pellets and physical therapy before he's released back to the wild. Kim Bachar, a wildlife technician at the animal cliic, says that this hawk is one of many that are brought in with similar injuries after being shot by pellet guns. 'I've seen a lot of these, unfortunately,' she said.
