BIRD’S EYE VIEW

BIRD’S EYE VIEW.
 When Buffalo, NY, P&DC electronic technicians responded to a delivery barcode sorter jam, they found an unusual sight. Inside the machine was a small North American Kestrel (or Sparrow Hawk). The bird seemed unfazed by the whirling belts and flying mail, but was clearly on the wrong perch. Building Equipment Mechanic Rick Kitson and ET Jim McElroy captured the young female bird, placed it in a sack and took it to a local wildlife center. Though slightly dehydrated, the hawk is recovering nicely and will be released when it regains its strength.
