10,000th Rehabilitated Raptor Released on Campus

The College of Science hosted the Carolina Raptor Center as they released their 10,000th rehabilitated raptor on Saturday, Aug. 10. The red-tailed hawk spent 58 days in CRC’s hospital facility and was released into the trees at the Hauser Alumni Pavilion in front of a crowd of guests, including families and CRC volunteers. The event was held on campus where the center was “hatched” 49 years ago, in what is now the Department of Biological Sciences.
