Raptor Rescue: An Eagle Flies Free

Most of us have been blessed to see a hawk or an eagle soaring on wind currents. It's a wonderful sight. Readers of this book can explore behind the scenes at the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota. This agency helps injured raptors recover from illness or injury, and hopefully return to the wild. Readers will follow the progress of S-137, a bald eagle who suffered a broken wing and gunshot wounds; from admission, x-ray, surgery, recuperation, flight therapy, and finally release. Written by Sylvia Johnson, with photos by Ron Winch, it is a fascinating introduction to the work of veterinarians and staff at the Raptor Center.
