Patrick Roy brought RTHA in. Mentioned that this hawk came from the same location that the GHOW came from a few weeks ago. He was concerned that the owl that had nothing wrong then just died when they went to release. Could there be something toxic in the area? We attempted to get blood for this reason but were unsuccessful.
