This is certainly something you do not see every day—a worker at TFC Recycling in Chesapeake rescued an injured hawk!

While working, Dustin Plass, a heavy equipment operator, spotted the red-tailed hawk that was looking sick and weak.

The hawk was given to a wildlife organization for treatment and rehabilitation. We're told it's already been released back into its natural habitat.
