Any Pennsylvanians out there?
If you’re a pennamite, maybe you’ll recognize this red-tailed hawk! We received this patient a little while ago, and upon examination we discovered that he was suffering from a broken right wing.
But that’s not all we found! The hawk has a metal federal band on it, and when we looked into it, we found out that the bird was banded in Pennsylvania in 2004! In the wild, red-tailed hawks typically live for around 10 to 15 years, so finding one that’s over 20 years old is amazing!
We’ll do our best to get him back out to the wild. Maybe he’ll fly back to Pennsylvania and spread the word about us!
