By mid-June, it was completing daily flight exercises in a large outdoor enclosure to rebuild strength and stamina. On July 31, the hawk was officially cleared for release...This hawk also helped save another’s life. Around the time of its rescue, a second hawk was admitted to the Center with severe internal bleeding. A blood transfusion from Hawk #25-1778 helped stabilize the injured bird and played a key role in its recovery.
