Why oh why oh why would you wait FOUR DAYS to contact a wildlife rehabber with a hawk on the ground in your backyard?

The finder fed it pigeon and rat remains.

Humans make my head hurt. I transported it to the rehabber. The prognosis is guarded. This hawk has a bloody abrasion on the right leg, from the hock to the talons. It's emaciated.
