Garrison the Hawk

Dateline: 7/10/00

Steve named the hawk I found Garrison. Here are some pictures of it. Read the article about it.

You can still see some of the down on the hawk in this picture taken two weeks after I "caught" it.

Look closely at the beak and you can see why I would not grab it with my bare hands!

Steve hand feeds the hawk a mouse, showing it was probably raised by hand before being dumped. It has never tried to bite him.

Here are the two red headed buzzard chicks, Beanie and Baby. If they get any uglier, they will have to get new names..

This owl is in a flight cage at Steve and Angela's. They had three the day I visited.

Steve and Angela do a great service saving birds of prey. They take donations to help with expenses building cages and feeding the birds. They also need deer meat to feed the birds. If you have venison in your freezer that is getting old and you need to get rid of it, or have more than you need, contact them and give it to them to feed to the birds. Also, send them a check if you want to help them protect birds of prey.

Steve and Angela can be reached at 770-567-1852 or you can mail donations to them Bubba and Friends, 105 Reid Road, Zebulon, GA 30295. Please help them help my hawk and others!
