Kiwi
Kiwi is a Red Tailed Hawk that came to live at the OLC in 2004. She was found with a damaged wing, though the veterinarian was not able to discern what happened to her. Kiwi is a very intelligent bird, and is a favorite of the OLC staff and volunteers. She is a great educational bird as she loves to be "on the glove" and is happy to visit new places.
Red Tailed Hawks are some of the most widely distributed hawks in North America. They are native to this region, but can be found as far north as Central Alaska, and as far south as Central America. Due to it's magestic sound, Red Tailed Hawk cries are often used in movies (most often dubbed over the image of a soaring Bald Eagle). You can see Red Tailed Hawks perched on telephone poles and trees near farms and meadows along roads. Keep your eyes out!
