An unlikely visitor in the winter a young red-shouldered hawk was admitted into Salthaven after sustaining head trauma from hitting, not one, but two windows! 

Typically, this species is here during the summer months for breeding season and winters further south and along the coast in the United States.

After a couple of weeks rehabilitating, he was healthy and ready for release.
