Buteo jamaicensis
My son, daughter, and I saw about 6 or 7 white-tail deer at the top of our hill. We went to observe and after they left we found this poor guy.
Scattered trees and open meadow

That's a bummer! I have no idea...he's a youngster...last-year's baby...they're sometimes pretty clumsy...I volunteer at a Raptor rehab center in Colorado and 90% of all injuries are caused by humans...intentional or not...we're usually the culprit! Lead poisoning is a bad cause here...we need to get rid of lead ammunition! ;-(
Unfortunately we were too late. He was very stiff with no signs of life. Unsure of the cause of death. No visible injuries. Any ideas?
Oh my!! Did you get him to a rehab center?? Is he alive?? He looks alive in the 2nd photo...???
