Bird Stuff:
This is Lady Hawk, she is a red tailed hawk and an education bird for Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Lady Hawk was admitted to the original rehab center back in 1992 when she was less than a year old. She had been found along the side of the road, suffering from a wing injury. Although no one knows exactly how Lady Hawk was injured, she was most likely hit by a car, damaging the tendons and ligaments in her wing. Despite their best efforts, volunteers were unable to heal Lady Hawk’s wing to the point where she could be released back into the wild. As is, she is unable to extend her wing fully. However, since 1996 she has been helping Tamarack volunteers with their education presentations throughout northwestern Pennsylvania.
