Waltham police officer rescues injured falcon

MASSACHUSETTS -- A Waltham police officer rescued an injured falcon Saturday when he spotted it on the Winter Street bridge, according to the police department's Twitter account.

The officer at first believed the bird was a hawk, but MSCPA Angel told officials the bird was a falcon.

The department said through Twitter the falcon, that was found and rescued by Officer Tony Conran, will be brought home and cared for by a lab technician at MSCPA Angel. The lab technician specializes in wildlife rehabilitation.
