Rex Hill Vineyards was the site for the release of two rehabilitated Red-Tailed Hawks. Throughout the year, the Audubon Society of Portland's Wildlife Care Center releases rehabilitated, injured or orphaned wildlife back to the wild. These two birds were found in our area and we were delighted that the Audubon Society chose the Rex Hill gardens as the release location so that the birds were able to come back to familiar surroundings. Cellar club members were invited to come watch on Monday, September 15. Although the birds were certainly the stars of the show, we poured some wines to celebrate. Deb Hatcher was invited to release the juvenile. The site proved ideal and will be used again this fall for rehabilitated, migrating hawks.
