Ferruginous Hawk's Journey

Talk about one long ride! This Ferruginous Hawk traveled on the front of a train for over 1000 miles. This hawk is the largest hawk known in North America. Thanks to Dawn Keller of Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and some other caring people this lucky hawk has made almost a full recovery. Because of the injuries he did sustain he is unable to be released back into the wild. Once the proper permits are received this beautiful bird, appropriately named Journey, will be used in educational classes.
