As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Officials at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey rushed to a parking lot on Kennedy Boulevard to rescue the hawk.

"I felt horrible for him," said witness Cheryl Cyr. "The poor thing couldn't do anything but cry."

Audubon workers were able to get the hawk down safely.

After determining it was unharmed, the bird was set free.

Officials urge people to dispose of their fishing line properly to ensure the safety of all wildlife.
