From a tiny nestling to a fierce young hawk, Red-shouldered Hawk 25-288 has come a long way. She arrived at our center earlier this season after being displaced from her nest in Santa Paula, far too young to survive on her own. Vulnerable and still dependent, she needed careful care to ensure her development stayed on track. We placed her with other hawk nestlings of a similar age, giving her the social and behavioral cues that only others of her species can provide. Now, she’s growing stronger
