Raptor Monday

Lots of raptor patients here at Philadelphia Metro Wildlife Center. In addition to the Red Shouldered hawk mentioned in the last update, we have a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk with an infected foot, a Screech owl who flew into the side of a truck, a Cooper’s hawk and another Red Shouldered. The Red Shouldered mentioned below was xrayed by one of our vets and found to have been shot with a bb gun several times. Luckily his injuries are not too bad and he is eating ravenously. The other raptors have also been making good, steady slow progress.
