From The Raptor Center

This week our hospital has been tasked with the care for two beautifully elusive owls, a snowy owl and a great gray owl. These patients here inspired a solstice haik-hoo:

Hoo will delight We mourn the loss of the sun Silent flight rejoice

The Winter Solstice graces us with its quiet majesty, much like the silent flight of our nocturnal hunters. We wonder if owls welcome the winter solstice for the same reason many of us are happy to see it come and go.

In the spirit of gratitude and celebration, we find ourselves reflecting on the profound light that emanates from our incredible community of supporters as we look to brighter days ahead. Your community commitment to our cause is unwavering, especially during challenging times for our feathery friends, and why we know 50 years of saving raptors was only the beginning. With your support beneath our wings, we are elevating what it means to be a beacon of hope for the raptors in need and uncovering what the future for raptor medicine and rehabilitation has in store.

We are so happy to be sharing this journey with you. Together, let’s continue to nurture and protect our majestic raptors and the world we share.

Warmest wishes on this Winter Solstice, The TRC Flock.
