Good Samaritan Saves a Hawk Stuck in a Car Grill

A good man will help everyone who needs a hand whether a fellow human or animals alike.

A former Marine turned artist, Ryan Jensen is used to helping stranded motorists. He often stops when he sees people in need. But a recent encounter involved a different kind of traveler.

Ryan Jensen is not only a hero, but also an artist.

Jensen was driving along a highway in Arcata, California when he saw a young woman who needed help.

"I was just driving along, looking for a place to paint and I see a girl parked on the side of the road with a bird sticking out of the front of her car and I decided to turn around and try to help her," Jensen recalled.

Jensen was eager to help this poor raptor.

Jensen pulled over and upon assessing the situation, he realizes that a red-tailed hawk had collided with Lynzee DeSantis's grill while she was driving. The bird was luckily alive but panicking.

Fortunately, Jensen has experience with birds and knew how to handle them.

DeSantis filmed the rescue, while Jensen worked at freeing the hawk. He went to his car, to find something he could use to cover the bird to calm it, but only found a hat. He was aware that the highly stressed bird could turn around and nail him with its sharp beak when freed, but he wasn't worried, he said.

Finally, the hawk is free.

After the hawk was freed, the bird seemed stunned for a moment before flying away.

After the rescue, Jensen was inspired to paint a red-tailed hawk. His painting and other work are available on his website and Facebook page.

Jensen created this hawk painting after the rescue.

"I stop all the time when people are stuck on the side of the road. That's the kind of guy I am," he said. 

Kudos to Ryan and continue to be a good samaritan to everyone.
