Updated 3/26/2025 10:59:57 AM

Buteo lagopus Rough-legged Hawks are part of the Accipitridae family in the order Accipitriformes. Click here to learn more... Have you met? Bodie Jillian Little Billie Mischa Nigel Portia Sibley Simon Sonny Sonora Wes Would you like to help provide Taiga with a lifetime of quality care? She is currently available for adoption under our "Apopt a Raptor" program.

Our new hawk, Taiga was a youngster and a car collision victim in the spring near Great Falls, a migrant from the tundra and taiga of the far north and now on our Teaching Team. A sweetie and bum wing but comfortable in her new surroundings. She was just a year old, so hopefully in the Family for a long time to come. Her first off-site program was for Mission Valley Amish Christian School in St. Ignatius. After a few practice walks around the property that week, I crossed my fingers and loaded her in the kennel for the 1 1/2 hour drive to the Flathead Valley. A PRO, rode just fine on a flat perch, on the glove for 15 minutes, I was so happy! And appreciated by the Amish kids, 1st to 8th grade and teachers, family. A memorable and wonderful event, and school number 142...we'll be back! Date Acquired: 10/16/2024 Top
