Two distressed birds of prey were rescued by animal control officers this week in Lakewood.
The birds, a red-tailed hawk and an owl, were rescued in the Bear Creek Lake Park area after residents called about the injured pair, according to a post in the Lakewood weekly newsletter.
Officers found a red-tailed hawk that “might have flown into power lines” although there were no visible signs of injury, the city said.
The owl, which suffered a broken jaw, was found in a greenbelt east of the Fox Hollow Golf Course.
Officers captured both birds and they were taken to a rehabilitation center.
