Barbary Falcon
The Barbary Falcon is a sub-species of the Peregrine Falcon. She came to us in January 2009 from a captive breeding project in Colorado. She was injured in the nest by her parents. One of the parents stepped on her causing her spine to curve than be straight. You will notice in her picture that she stands crooked from her injury. The x-ray shows how her spine curves. I drew a red line that follows her spine. She is lucky to be alive and have no problems from her young age injury.
Barn Owl
The Common Barn Owl is from Hawk Creek's captive breeding program. He was transferred to our center in January 2009.They breed barn owls for release and education programs. His picture shows the tan area on the top of his chest which is an indicator of a juvenile barn owl.
American Kestrel
The American Kestrel was transferred to us in the fall of 2008 from a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in Michigan. It is believe that she was electrocuted at a young age maybe on one of her first flights. She suffered a broken wing and is missing a talon on each foot.
Harris' Hawk
The Harris' Hawk is a captive bred bird that is used in falconry as also in education programs. She has been with me since 2004.
The center takes in non-releasable birds of prey to be used for education programs.
