Red-tailed hawk in dangerous situation

HAMBURG, N.Y. (WIVB) - A red tailed hawk found itself in the middle of a dangerous situation Wednesday.

A passerby saw the bird of prey sitting helplessly in the middle of Amsdell Road in Hamburg and called 911.

It is now in the care of the Erie County SPCA and is said to be in fine shape.
