Review for Hawk Talk Inc, Holly Springs, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The very first time I met Monteen McCord, I had been invited to her home by a mutual friend for dinner. Just after we arrived, someone showed up at the door with an injured Redtail hawk in a paper grocery sack. I have no recollection what we eventually had for dinner, but I remember vividly everything coming to a screeching halt and helping her restrain the bird on the living room floor while she examined its gunshot wing. The bird was bandaged up and put in a large crate for transport to the vet, and I remember thinking "I am REALLY going to like this chick. Her head's screwed on right" That was twenty some odd years ago.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Better understanding of the different niches raptors play in our ecosystem. I'm proud to say I can identify a lot of the local species by their vocalizations!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Seeing the birds that make it back to the wild.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Have a roof over the human's head that didn't leak and still feed the birds.

Ways to make it better...

If i liked birds half as much as Monteen does (sorry Teen, they just kinda give me the willies)

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Funding, of course. Mices are pricey.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2010
