Cooper's Hawk 1 (Trapped in Basement) (Accipiter cooperii)

One of my co-workers discovered that this Cooper's Hawk was in the basement of the unused part of the facility. We're not sure how it got into this area, but it must have been chasing pigeons that are seen inside the old buildings occasionally. The lighting there is poor for photos, so my co-worker held a flashlight for me.

We tried to get him outside, but the hawk flew up to the ground floor of one of the old buildings.
