Prince
Harris's Hawk
Prince was taken illegally as a chick and raised by a falconer. He was rescued by the Wylie Fire Department after being found stuck in a tree. Now unreleasable, Prince resides permanently at Rogers Wildlife for educational purposes.
Shiloh
Red-Tailed Hawk
Raised illegally, Shiloh became too comfortable with humans and unable to hunt. He now serves as an ambassador in the Outreach Program, visiting schools and events. His favorite foods are beef heart and mice, and he often "complains" if they're not to his liking.
The Colonel
Crested Caracara
Found injured in Kemp, Texas, with a damaged shoulder, The Colonel could not be released after months of therapy. Now a permanent resident at Rogers Wildlife, he educates the public about his species, typically found in parts of North Texas.
Chitters
Barred Owl
Chitters was found starving on an apartment balcony, having been raised by humans and imprinted. Unable to hunt and too familiar with people, he now serves as one of our oldest educational ambassadors in the Outreach Program.
Maggie
White Pelican
Maggie was found tangled in fishing line, which cut off circulation in her wing, resulting in partial loss. Unable to fly, she now serves as an educational ambassador and groundskeeping crew member, specializing in tool retrieval and clearing drains.
Ozzie
Black Vulture
Ozzie was raised illegally and released as an imprinted adult bird. Found begging a family for food, he was taken to Rogers Wildlife, where he became a permanent resident for educational purposes, as he was determined unreleasable due to imprinting.
