| Some Rehabilitation happenings. Every picture tells a story of a raptor that was admitted for rehabilitation, we had many successful cases that resulted in the raptors being released...getting a chance at living life wild and free as nature intended! |
| Each time we admit a bird we give them a physical exam, some times they are rehabilitated with out any problems while other cases require x-rays or other treatments for a chance at release. |
| This spring was busy and the summer months look to be the same...busy! We are SO thankful to our local vets at Park Avenue Animal Hospital. www.parkavenuevets.com. Their support helps us to rehabilitate injured raptors with quality care. Dr. Rubinstein is shown here releasing a Red-Shouldered Hawk after it recovered from a wing fracture. We have admitted Great Horned Owls, American Kestrels, Screech Owls, Barred Owls, Red-Shouldered Hawks and now the Coopers Hawks are showing up! Weather has been a problem but we were able to release 12 birds last week! Including our first birds that "graduated" from the 100 foot flight. What a great feeling to return these young back to the wild where they belong. |
