The Sanibel Fire and Rescue District reported that on April 25, a ladder truck crew assisted the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife and Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation return a baby red-shouldered hawk to its nest, which it had fallen from earlier in the day. Called an eyas, the baby hawk was safely placed back in the nest. The district added that perched up high — even delivering a few flybys — the hawk’s mother made sure that the rescuers were not hurting her babies.
