IT'S ALMOST SPRING!
by Gigi Stewart
|
|
Spring is approaching, and at Soarin’ Hawk that means baby season, when we have lots of young birds brought into our facility, some still covered with downy feathers and not able to eat on their own, and others not knowing how to hunt for their food. Now is a great time for you to join Soarin’ Hawk as a volunteer! If you join now, by the time baby season arrives, you’ll be able to lend a hand in our bird ICU, helping get this year's young birds back out into the wild where they belong!
If you’d like to become a volunteer in our ICU or with any other of our volunteer opportunities, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Gigi Stewart, at gigi.stewart@soarinhawk.org

HOW'S THE PRAIRIE?
When Soarin' Hawk moved to our new facility, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) seeded the land to restore it to a natural prairie habitat, as it was many, many years ago. Recently, the DNR came to check on the prairie's progress, and - hooray!! - it's developing just as it should be! It takes about 10-15 years for a prairie to mature, but it's well on its way!

BIRDS BRING LIFE TO DESERTED ISLAND
|
|
In 1963, a volcano erupted underneath the cold waters of the North Atlantic, 10 miles off Iceland’s southwest coast. The eruption lasted for four years. Eventually, the lava and ash cooled into a black-and-tan island named Surtsey, and the first fragile seeds of life started to wash ashore. Birds played an instrumental role in bringing the island to life.

Thanks to people like you, we were able to rescue, rehabilitate, and release this beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk. After a few weeks in our facility, she was released in her home territory, to continue life in the wild. Won't you make a donation, so we can help others like her? No contribution is too small!
Your donation is tax deductible.
