Red-tailed Hawks

Some of you have asked about a Red-tailed we admitted a few weeks ago with a humerus fracture. That bird has graduated to a flight building where it is doing test flights and building up strength.

Another Red-tailed that we admitted several weeks ago had a fracture of the radius/ulna and is getting hands-on physical therapy to help increase its range of motion in the injured wing. The bird's head is kept covered to help it stay calm during the stretching exercises.

Found Animal in Need?

At the present time,Tamarack is able to admit birds of prey, adult seed eating birds, opossums and turtles. This is subject to change depending on case load. When staffing and funding permit we also admit as many other patients as we have the capacity to responsibly care for.

If you find wildlife in need of help call Tamarack as soon as possible for guidance. We may refer you to another rehabber closer to you, or better equipped to handle a particular species.

For the animals, health, DO NOT FEED OR WATER. Keep it in a quiet safe, dark location
