 In early June of 2005, we received two young golden eagles from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The birds were pre-fledglings and had been taken from their nest without a permit. One was very thin and they both were noticeably dehydrated, which required timely treatment from our Medical Services staff. To read the tale of these two eagles, click here.

Since our groundbreaking in October we have been very busy. Our architects, RoTo and Associates, have refined our programming and schematics for the facility and have now solved new issues regarding emergency access roads that must run through the property. This issue resulted in some rearranging of enclosures to accommodate emergency vehicles with large turning needs. These changes have added additional space for us, and that is always a good thing.

Liberty Wildlife volunteers have the unique opportunity to experience working closely with Arizona's native wildlife. In scenes reminiscent of Animal Planet, Orphan Care volunteers cradle baby birds and scoop formula into their gaping beaks. Daily Care volunteers feed and keep a close eye on the hawks, owls, eagles and ravens, making sure the raptors are fed and doing well. This vital team serves as the eyes and hands of the organization on a day-in, day-out basis. It is due to the vigilance and dedication of both of these groups that animals are able to recover and be released back to the wild.

In late June, Liberty Wildlife Education team members Anne Peyton and Craig Fischer were given the opportunity to release two birds that had completed their rehabilitation.
The only hitch was that each bird – a male northern harrier and a saw-whet owl – came to Liberty this past winter when each bird's migration brings them through the Phoenix area. Now that temperatures are well into the 110s each day, neither species can be found anywhere near the Valley of the Sun.
