Swainson’s Hawk Releases and Golden Eagle Update

It was an unusual week at BMW in that no raptors were admitted, although arrangements are being made to transport a young Swainson’s Hawk from Baker City to Pendleton today or tomorrow. Five more Swainson’s were released from hack boxes this past week for a total of eight in the last two weeks.

The fledgling Golden Eagle is looking and acting like a healthy eagle. She will be returned to her
family on Tuesday.

A Belted Kingfisher was admitted with a fractured ulna. It is thought to have struck a window.  We have immobilized the wing and are providing cage rest so the wing can heal.
