Week in Review
Golden Eagle 21-778 continues to do well, although he still is unable to place his halux talon properly without the boots on his feet.
Sadly, we lost another Golden Eagle to lead poisoning this week and had to euthanize a Golden Eagle that was struck by a vehicle because his injuries were too extensive to repair.
This is always a challenging time of year when all the birds admitted are trauma cases. Hopefully the coming week will be a quiet one.
Red-tailed Hawk 21-795
Red-tailed Hawk 21-795 was found lying on his back on a sidewalk. He has head and neck injuries. Although the prognosis is not good, we will give him pain medication and anti-inflammatories for a few days to see if he improves.

Just for Fun
I put this photo in just for fun and as a reminder that there is always hope for a better day tomorrow… although the forecast is for rain. But, we need the rain!
