For more than three decades, student and alumni volunteers have tended to eagles, hawks, vultures, owls, and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside a barn on East Hill, a one-eyed golden eagle named Esther ruffles her feathers as she sits on her favorite toy ball; meanwhile, Gracie the one-winged bald eagle loudly chirps in a neighboring enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, both birds sustained life-changing injuries after being shot in the wild. But they landed in one of the best possible places: the Cornell Raptor Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of CALS\u2019 animal science department, the program houses some two dozen birds\u2014from an American kestrel to a peregrine falcon to four species of owl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Esther and Gracie, many have suffered injuries that prevent them from returning to their natural habitat after rehabilitation, and most will stay in the program\u2019s care for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really rewarding when you see clear signs that the bird trusts you after the months of hard work that you\u2019ve put into building that relationship,\u201d says Angelina Tang \u201928, one of the program\u2019s more than 30 student volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tang and others not only feed the raptors and clean their enclosures, but offer them enrichment activities, like figuring out how to get their food out of a ball-shaped toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since one of the program\u2019s main goals is to educate the public about raptor conservation and biology, avian residents make regular appearances at events on campus and in the community\u2014including in classrooms on the Hill and elsewhere, and at nursing homes, nature centers, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For the birds\u2019 safety, the raptor barns are not open to the public, and the program doesn\u2019t publicize its location.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student volunteers are assigned to help care for a small number of raptors\u2014sometimes just one\u2014so they can form relationships with them and learn to cater to their specific needs; alumni also help out, especially over the summer and during breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student volunteers not only feed the raptors and clean their enclosures, but offer them enrichment activities.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the birds I work with is Morty the turkey vulture,\u201d says Tang. \u201cSometimes we\u2019ll stand in front of a window while he\u2019s on my glove, because vultures like the sun. He\u2019ll open his wings and envelop me in them, like a little hug.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A double major in communication and animal science, Tang also cares for a red-tailed hawk named Guinevere (or Gwen for short). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At public education programs, Gwen offers an example of why people shouldn\u2019t keep wild animals as pets: taken in as a chick, she couldn\u2019t develop the proper muscles or learn to hunt or fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe raptors are so much fun to work with,\u201d says program manager Meghan Jensen, a scientist and educator who holds a doctorate in wildlife biology from West Virginia University. \u201cFred, one of our northern goshawks, can fly through a hula hoop, and students have taught her how to fetch a little stuffed monkey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(The raptors have even been featured in a 2024 episode<\/a> of “Dean Does New Things,” an Instagram series in which Dean of Students Marla Love gets out of her comfort zone\u2014in this case, overcoming a discomfort with birds by meeting several of them up close.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the program was founded in 1993, it has gained residents from all over the country\u2014many having been transported to Ithaca for treatment at the College of Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Swanson Wildlife Hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one special bird was born on campus\u2014and is quite the hometown celebrity. Known as E3, he\u2019s the offspring of famed East Hill red-tailed hawks Big Red and Ezra, and his 2014 hatching was viewed by thousands on the Lab of Ornithology\u2019s Bird Cam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a fledgling, E3 collided with a greenhouse and injured his wing. The wildlife hospital healed it\u2014but since his ability to fly was impaired, he was deemed non-releasable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former CALS animal science major Noel Acor \u201923, MPS \u201924, has been one of E3\u2019s handlers since her freshman year, and continues to care for him while working as a lab technician in Human Ecology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s also mentoring students in handling E3, who tends to be shy with new faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an enrichment activity, Acor brought E3 a children\u2019s puzzle with various animal pieces. She has trained him to respond to the query \u201cWhat are you?\u201d by finding the hawk piece and lifting it with his beak, for which he\u2019s rewarded with a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot from him, and he\u2019s given me self-confidence that I don\u2019t think I necessarily had before,\u201d Acor says. \u201cThe program offers such a unique experience to have a relationship like this with a wild animal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
