Raz is a stunning Red-Tailed Hawk, one of North America's most iconic birds of prey. Known for their sharp vision and powerful flight, Red-Tailed Hawks play a vital role in the ecosystem by helping control rodent populations. Unfortunately, Raz suffered an injury to his clavicle, which left him unable to fly. Thanks to a bird rescue group, he made his way to Popcorn Park, where we were able to give him a safe and comfortable home.

Though he can’t take flight like his wild counterparts, Raz’s spacious enclosure gives him plenty of room to move around. His perches are strategically placed, allowing him to hop from one to another, reaching as high as 12 feet off the ground. From this perch, he has a perfect view of all that’s happening at Popcorn Park, where he enjoys the calm of his surroundings and the attention from our staff. While he may not be soaring through the sky, he still enjoys the simple pleasures of being a hawk—watching the world from his perch, taking in the sights and sounds of the park.
