Rufous

Rufous was admitted into rehabilitation in 2014 as an adult bird with a left wing injury after being hit by a car.  The wing had already healed improperly and was unable to be repaired, leaving him unable to fly.  Since he was non-releasable, we obtained permission from USFW to have Rufous permitted as an education ambassador. He has since served as one of our most well traveled ambassadors, attending multiple educations programs around the state each year.
