Red Shouldered Hawk reunited with mate after being trapped in screen patio

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla.—Charlotte County Animal Control saved a red-shouldered hawk. 

They said the hawk flew through a screen-in patio and couldn’t get out. 

Animal Control said the hawk was not hurt, and they made a safe reunion.

After they collected the hawk, they released it where its mate had been calling for it the whole time. 

The two flew to a nearby palm tree to reunite. 

Animal Control said the bird's mate for life, and it’s currently their breeding season.
