My Nonprofit Reviews

I had found an injured Coopers Hawk on my farm in early August 2020. He had an obvious head and wing injury, possibly from hitting a fence. An exam and xray confirmed the wing injury was old and in the healing process, however the head injury was fresh.

I contacted Raptor Rehab and they forwarded my contact to Nicole Gerard. Ironically, we live about 5 minutes apart. I had the Coopers Hawk in her care within 2 hours of finding him.

After 3 weeks of care and rehab, Coop was ready for release. Nicole brought him out to the farm to release him in the exact place I found him. The release was successful.

It has now been 2 weeks since his release. I hear him almost daily, screaming while he's hunting in our woods. One day he glided right over my head and perched in a tree about 50 yards away. Almost like he was thanking me.

Thank you Raptor Rehab. Carry on, Coop.
