From Fractured to Flying Free 🦅

This Peregrine Falcon’s story could have ended in a backyard pool in Cloverdale. Unable to fly, with multiple wing fractures and signs of trauma, she arrived at BRC in rough shape.

Recovery was not easy. Bed rest is tough for a high-energy falcon, and she made that very clear by destroying every wing wrap we tried. Still, with careful care, time, and persistence, her wing began to heal.

After months of recovery and physical therapy, the real test began. Flight. Her first attempt, she could not even get off the ground. Step by step, with support from an incredible network, local rehab partners, a falconer, and our Raptor Team, she rebuilt her strength.

Eight months after rescue, she was ready.

On April 15, she was released along the Russian River, near where she was found.

She took off like a bullet and disappeared over the trees, exactly as a Peregrine should.

Wild lives, restored because of you.

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week, and today, April 20, is National Volunteer Appreciation Day.

To our volunteers—thank you for showing up, stepping in, and making this work possible. Your time, care, and commitment quite literally help save lives, every single day.

We’re deeply grateful. Thank you.
