Eragon the Red-Tailed Hawk 2

This young red-tailed hawk is a permanent resident of our county wildlife rescue center; a fall from the nest broke his shoulder and leg, and though surgery helped he will never be able to fly or walk entirely properly.  He's been named Eragon after a contest was held to determine a moniker for him, and was raised since he barely had any feathers by the center's administrators.  He still has a bit of baby fluff here, though he is looking far more adult.  Taken 7-25-14.

Here you can see him in video, along with some of the goslings we had there: Youngsters
