Pittsburgh firefighters return baby hawk to nest

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pittsburgh firefighters helped return a baby hawk to its nest after it fell out and spent time at a rehabilitation facility. 

In a social media post, firefighters said the hawk fell out of its nest near the Riverview Park section of the city about a month ago. 

After going to a facility and getting its strength back, the baby was ready to go back home. 

Firefighters posted photos of them using a ladder truck to put the hawk back in its nest. They said the hawk made a "triumphant return" thanks to the help of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and a warden.
