My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

The Record's Rich Cowen has a nifty story about a Red-tailed Hawk that was found badly injured in Clifton in the spring of 2014 and taken to The Raptor Trust.
The Raptor Trust managed to save the bird, and then band and release it.
Earlier this month, the Red-tail returned home.
An incredible story, and a testament to how concerned individuals can make a difference in a raptor's life — with the help of wildlife rehab folks like The Raptor Trust.
Without the band, by the way, no one would have ever known that the Red-tail made it back home.
