Naugatuck Resident Helps Hawk


Daniel Lee was dropping his children off at camp today when he observed a woman on the side of Crawford Road, with what appeared to be an injured hawk.

When he drove by again, the woman was sitting near the bird.

"She's guarding it until animal control comes," said Lee.
