A beautiful moment captured of Pinto, a young bald eagle, from Saturday’s release. Rehab often starts with the finders like Gina, Chad, and Hannah Johnson, who discovered Pinto grounded in their backyard. They did everything right, keeping a watchful eye and contacting us immediately. Assisting Dianne at the release, the Johnsons watched Pinto take strong flight. Immediately afterwards Nova the adult eagle who adopted Pinto during recovery also took flight, . We will be sharing more spectacular photos of their journey, stay tuned. Stories like Pinto’s remind us how crucial finders are in giving wildlife a second chance. Photo by Brian Weins

Join us this Sunday, August 3 at 11 a.m. for an unforgettable experience at the beautiful Tallgrass Prairies, 3129 County Rd N, Milton. We’ll be releasing two juvenile bald eagles; Maverick, rescued near Edgerton, and Kaboom, from Poynette, both now strong, flying well, and ready to return to the skies.
This free public event includes a short presentation about the eagles and bald eagle conservation, appropriate for all ages. The event takes place on private property, generously hosted by Meg and Peter Layton. Please consider a donation to support our work as Hoo's Woods receives no state or federal funding. Bring your friends, family, and camera, but please leave the dog at home. The prairie is in full bloom and offers a breathtaking setting for this special moment. Weather dependent, check Facebook for updates.
