He’s healthy and walking around in the ceiling tiles, library spokesperson Sherri Taliercio told the outlet.

The red-tailed hawk, which measures about 22 inches tall, entered the library on Monday, Oct. 24. The library in Toms River pointed a camera at the bird of prey to make sure it remains safe, the outlet said.

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife set non-lethal traps to capture the hawk, NJ.com reported.
