History

On 6/13/19 Soarin' Hawk admitted their 11th baby kestrel.  Kat, the vet tech, examined the bird and didn't find any injuries.  This kestrel was weighed and a keels score was taken.  Both were within normal range.  This bird will stay in ICU to ensure that he is eating properly and that he is maintaining weight; then he will be moved to the pens. 06/22/19 This young kestrel has been moved to our rehabilitation facility.  It is with our other young kestrels until it is old enough to be released.
