Spike
Red-tailed Hawk
Spike was admitted in 2000 with a damaged left eye after being found standing on a pile of logs under her nest. Since the condition was chronic, her damaged eye was removed.
You might notice a distinct color difference between Spike and our other female Red-tailed Hawk, Scarlet. This is due to age: though they are both female, Spike is far past wild life expectancy and Scarlet is young.
