“Typically with these guys, they tend to fly low when they’re hunting… Typically they will hit a fence, and they will actually break this bone up here in their wing when they get wrapped around. Now, for this guy, it looks like a lot of superficial (wounds). The wing is still actually in tact, the bone is not broken,” said one officer.
