SEE: FDNY Save Hawk Stuck At Brooklyn Hospital

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — A hawk that found himself stuck in netting on Woodhull Hospital got some help from New York's bravest this week.

Members of Williamsburg's Ladder 146, along with a firefighter licensed in wildlife rehabilitation, came to the hawk's rescue Wednesday afternoon. He had been stuck three stories up on the building for three days, officials said.

“We cut a small slice in the netting and after about 10 minutes I was able to get the bird safely into my hands," said Robert Horvath, a firefighter and licensed wildlife rehabilitator. "The bird was weak and stressed so I am bringing it home with me."

Horvath said the bird will likely make a full recovery after a few days of rest, food and water.

Hawks, especially red-tailed hawks, are very common in the New York City area, according to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Red-tailed hawks are a breeder in Prospect Park as well as other city parks in the NYC area. The birds also nest on buildings surrounding Central Park, the garden's report said.

FDNY will find a spot to release the hawk once it has made a full recovery, Horvath said.

“We made a small difference today by saving this one animal," he said. "I wanted to do everything I could to give it a second chance."
