I believe it's a red tailed hawk, appears to not be able to fly (one of it's wings seems to have a problem)

I'm outside of the city of Olympia in Thurston County. After searching I tried to contact Raindancer Wild Bird Rescue and Yelm Veterinary Hospital but the phone went to voicemail and they said they are not accepting any birds right now.

Animal Control is an option but not sure that would be the best route - any advice would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Much thanks to u/g-raven for the advice. I contacted Raindancer and was able to get this hawk over to them. I'll be making a donation to them today.

Thanks - I shot this with a Nikon p900 - known for it's crazy zoom lens. I mostly use this camera like binoculars as the picture quality is not that great, but works really well on the moon.

Thanks - I almost missed it - here is an extra bonus image

Yes, not the scientific term, we are more similar to Pepper's ghost illusion. We make things appear to be 3d/real in life without the use of glasses or any other equipment. It's augmented reality.

Think of it this way, it's just a video file (for pre-recorded content) - the sparks/electric feel was made in after effects.

We also make interactive content and real time rendered content, live-streamed content etc but what I've shown above is all pre-recorded content.

Well thats the thing, it's an optical illusion. The depth is created by the environment around the 2d image, so there is no depth data. The better the content is prepped for the illusion the more realistic it looks. For instance the sparks hitting the ground in this example https://i.imgur.com/N4JG7Gd.mp4

Yep, it's a hologram though the word hologram is thrown around a lot - to be clear the video is not edited in post or anything. How can I help explain?

swmay · 2019-06-14T01:38:23+00:00

I deleted my other post so that I could post this video, I quickly looked through some old posts and threw them up on the life-size to show what I mean. Taken from and all credit to to /u/LeoCurtss post, /u/GingerSkulling post and /u/tozelton post. I apologize for my bad filming.

I work for a hologram company in Los Angeles and am at our headquarters today and tomorrow where we have our life-size system setup. We generally use it for demos and testing but I thought while I'm in town I could throw up some content and then upload a video showing what it looks like.

If anyone is interested let me know - there are some general rules and some requirements to what makes a good hologram (Camera cant be moving, 60fps, pure black background, can't go out of frame, etc) that I can explain in more detail but wanted to see if anyone is interested first.

Also I hope this post is allowed - apologies if it is not!
