Broad Winged Hawk who was struck by a vehicle in C

Broad Winged Hawk who was struck by a vehicle in Coventry survived and returned to freedom yesterday! Enjoy! #broadwingedhaek #hawksofinstagram #hawkrelease

So this baby finally gets his discharge papers...

So this baby finally gets his discharge papers... off he goes to rejoin his family flock. Farmington look out! We think this boy will be a KING. Captive rearing is not an option. Young birds must reunite to wild situations in order to properly learn and hone hunting skills. Adults offer supplemental feedings to keep stamina up while young hawks adjust to survival. Parents coax them with food to lead them into the great big world not only on the ground, but up in the sky! Birds must be in wild settings for their best chance at survival as the odds are already stacked against them. Young hawks of all kinds will call relentlessly as they feel the hunger pangs which will ultimately force them to try. Parents no longer cater all their meals but will offer portions at critical times during the process. Good luck little man, it was our honor to bounce you back to health. Now it’s up to you! #wildliferehabilitation #birdsbestraisedbybirds #redtailedhawk

Just admitted another young Coopers Hawk who hit the side of a house. Bird is having seizures just like the last four cases... so we must wonder if this is yet another victim to pesticide applications. #coopershawk #hawksofinstagram #wildliferehabilitation

The Osprey that has the ulcers on the eyes is navigating quite well. Here he is on a perch in the rehab space he has been in. This is the first time I have found him on the perch! His eye procedure is scheduled for Monday morning. The plan is to scrape the edges of the ulcers to promote additional healing. They have shrunk considerably but they are not gone. #Osprey #ospreysofinstagram

SORRY but THIS is the result of your “green lawn

SORRY but THIS is the result of your “green lawns”. Think beyond the lawn. Pesticides don’t just kill the bugs. Those same poisoned bugs are eaten by your songbirds and then ingested by in this case, a baby Coopers hawk. This is the fourth case in two weeks. Doubtful this baby will survive. The others didn’t. And why? Because humans can’t co exist with nature. We must “control” everything at the expense of our planet and our health. Poison, pesticides, rodenticides are deadly to us all. Please think. We are exhausted and heartbroken over here. Again. #pesticideskilleverything #raptorsarethesolution #secondarypoisoning

Remember this peanut? This is the Coopers Hawk bab

Remember this peanut? This is the Coopers Hawk baby that was so covered in fly eggs. He/she returned to nest area today! Mom was up in a tree and a sibling was heard but not seen. This baby is capable of flight but exited the carrier to run on the ground into the underbrush. Home is home!!! Mom watched. #coopershawk #hawksofinstagram #birdsbestraisedbybirds #wildliferehabilitation

...and this newest Broad winged hawk has fledged the platform nest! Will soon return to original nest tree. We’ve seen so many this year who were grounded and prematurely out of nests just to become victims to the flies. This is another lucky soul to have been rescued and cleaned up to have another go at it. #hawksofinstagram #broadwingedhawk #birdsbestraisedbybirds

Just a special shout out to our Flock Member Vicki

Just a special shout out to our Flock Member Vickie Silvia for dedicating her time to helping me with so many patients. We have been super busy at APCH and I don’t know what I would do without my team. It really is not easy nor a one person job. Thank you V for your assistance. #wildliferehabilitators #wildliferehab #aarkwildlifeandrehabcenter

Newest baby patient. Any guess as to what species

Newest baby patient. Any guess as to what species this bird is? Hint, he is not too vocal and he I little. This babe came out of his nest too early and while on the ground, was found by those darn flies. Common story we know, but this season is full of fly strike! He’s clean and will be ok. We will hold on to him until he’s more capable and then return him to his family. Another hint, this species migrated out of CT come September/October. #hawksofinstagram #birdsarebestraisedbybirds
