Daryl & Darrell, Turkey Vultures

Came to us in 2002 from the Alabama Wildlife Center. They were nestlings that imprinted on humans and couldn’t be released.

L.B., Golden Eagle

Found in 2018 on the Snake River Highway in Baker County Oregon. Head and eye injuries from collision with a vehicle kept him from being released.

Jonathon & Rita, Bald Eagles

Both were admitted in 2002 from Monument & Long Creek Oregon. Jonathon suffered Left wing/shoulder issues in a collision. Rita lost part of her right wing when she was hit by a vehicle. They have become partners & build a nest annually in their pen!

Patriot, Bald Eagle

He was found in Crane Prairie Oregon. He had Pelvis & shoulder injuries due to being hit by a vehicle. He was initially treated in Bend and became famous on a video when he had to be revived with “mouth-to-beak” resuscitation. Patriot came to live here in 2011.

Helen, Barn Owl

In 2011 she fell from a nest in an overpass near the Hinkle railroad yard in Hermiston Oregon. She had head trauma that affected her vision and her ability to learn to hunt.

Carmen, Barn Owl

In 2008 a collision injured Carmen’s shoulder and elbow. She was cared for by a falconer and came to our Education team in 2008.

Wendy, Short-eared Owl

A windstorm blew this owl out of the nest as a nestling. Unfortunately, someone tried to take care of the owl themselves and fed it steak. Young birds grow fast and without calcium this owl’s bones started to break.

Sally, Short-eared Owl

Originally, this owl was found in 2005 in Burley Idaho. Eye and wing injuries kept it from being a releasable owl, so it came to us for Education in 2009.

Iris, Pergrine Falcon

Iris came to us as a young falcon in 2011. She had a devastating wing fracture that needed to be amputated. She makes a wonderful ambassador for falcons in our Education Building.

Sam, Red-tailed Hawk

in 2012, Sam was a victim of ingested lead toxicity. He scavenged from an animal that was shot with lead ammunition. We got him in time to remove the lead from his blood, but also found an air rifle pellet in his shoulder.

Lauren, Rough-legged Hawk

In 2002, Lauren collided with something in Kennewick Washington that badly broke her wing. The wing had to be partially amputated, leaving her unreleasable. Rough-legged Hawks are native to this area in the winter months.

Harlan, Red-tailed Hawk (Harlan’s)

Harlan was gunshot in 2009 and still has over 20 pellets in her body. She is also a special morph of Red-tailed Hawk called a “Harlan’s”. They are typically dark all over with a mottled red, white, and dark brown tail.

Teddy, Swainson’s Hawk

Swainson’s Hawks live in our region during the summer months. Teddy came to us after falling from his nest as a baby. He broke his right wing and it did not heal well enough for him to be able to hunt.

Yoda, American Kestrel

Yoda is a female Kestrel. In 2013 she was found with her wing feathers clipped, so she was unable to fly, and appeared to be imprinted on humans. She had most likely been kidnapped from her nest as a nestling.

Sage, Great Horned Owl

Sage is a male Great Horned Owl who fell from his nest as young owl. Do to the location of the nest, he was unable to be returned. He imprinted on his rescuers and could not be released to the wild.

Cooper, Cooper’s Hawk

Cooper’s Hawks are a type of hawk that hunts birds, also known as an Accipiter. They have shorter wings and a long tail makes them very acrobatic flyers. Cooper collided with something that left him with head trauma and non-releasable.

Persimmon, Gyrfalcon

A captive bred falconry bird, persimmon came to us when he was retired in 2021. Gyrfalcons are the largest falcon in the world. They spend most of their time up north in the cooler climates of the arctic regions.
