Just saw this update on Peanut! Greetings hawk fans. Although you probably suspect it, since someone spilled the beans, I'm happy to report that today Peanut was released to an excellent undisclosed location. He is flying, soaring, and hunting. He will be supported with food drops to ensure he gets his bearings. It's the perfect spot for a hawk - lots of prey and perching, but not too many human-caused dangers. Thank you all so much for caring so much, and for the donations to the clinic. Fly free and live well, young hawk! Wonderful news!!!

Hawk Update
Many of you have asked what led to the death of the young hawk found dead near Bradfield Hall on August 9. Thanks for your patience as we awaited the report from the Animal Health Diagnostic Center. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma and associated internal bleeding, likely from a collision. We do not know whether a collision may have occurred with a vehicle, building, or other object. Other than its injuries, the young hawk appeared to be healthy and in good condition.
We know that young hawks face many challenges in their first year of life, from hatching to their first flight and on to being successful fliers, foragers, and breeders. It's a small solace to know that the hawk was in good condition and had been foraging successfully on its own.
Thank you for your support during these last difficult weeks, and for the outpouring of appreciation you've expressed about Big Red, Ezra, and family.
