Boy Scouts find injured Peregrine Falcon
March 7, 2008
The Boy Scouts found this little guy in the Chimicum/Quilcene
area. He has a laceration on his right wing that seems to be
healing well. He's also eating very well. We have high hopes of releasing him soon.
April 30th. The Peregrine is doing great and will be
released shortly. New photos
C.J., one of the volunteers at the Northwest Raptor Center
is training a Red-tailed Hawk to be our latest educational bird. He
came to the Raptor Center as a juvenile after trying to fly between a semi &
a pickup near Sequim Bay State Park. He was thrown to the pavement in
the back draft behind the semi & lost his left eye in the crash landing, so
he is not releasable. More

Freddie, a male Bald Eagle that we released
a few years ago found a mate and they built their nest just north of Highway
