One of the newest birds we have received is a juvenile Rough-legged Hawk. He came to us with a broken wing. The surgery was done by Dr. Ramsay and was a success! These arctic birds migrate from Alaska and Canada in the winter, but are rarely seen as far south as New Mexico. These birds will stay though the winter and migrate back north in the spring. We are unsure if he will recover fast enough to be released in time for migration. If he does not make it, we will have to keep him over the summer and release in the fall when they are seen in this state again. His food will cost $5/day. Please consider helping us out by donating. Thank you!

UPDATE: his Roguh-legged hawk unfortunately had too much damage to be released back into the wild. Although it was not the outcome we were hoping, we are thankful for Dr. Ramsay for her hard work and the Navajo Zoo who took this bird to be part of their zoo.
