Maverick - Red-shouldered Hawk
Maverick was admitted in April 2022 as an already imprinted nestling. Despite efforts to keep his behavior wild, he was deemed not releasable due to being imprinted. Maverick is on a new training program, so if you don't see him in the garden, he is behind the scenes being trained.
Scarlet - Red-tailed Hawk
Scarlet was admitted as a young bird in November 2016 from Washington county, Florida. She had a gun shot wound to her right shoulder which caused a fracture. Pellet fragments were also found throughout her right shoulder which left Scarlet unable to fly. Red-tailed Hawks do not get thier iconic red tail feathers until about a year of age, so it wasn't until Fall of 2017 that Scarlet grew tail feathers that live up to her name.
