Patient Profiles
Every day new patients arrive at our facility. We see over 3,000 patients annually. Over 135 different species come to us for care. In an effort to tell their stories of survival and highlight the diverse number of species that we rehabilitate, we try to share some of their stories here. You can also see posts on our social media pages.

Sharp-shinned Hawk
This hawk was found on a patio after hitting the window of someone's home. He hit hard enough to cause the window to crack! These hawks are sometimes called Chicken hawks or Sparrow hawks because they eat birds. He may have been chasing breakfast when he miscalculated the situation. We are treating him for injuries to the coracoid and head trauma. This is a juvenile and we know this because the eyes are still yellow. They will eventually turn red. Status: released
