Caring for Hawai‘i’s Wanderers and Migrants
October 19, 2020
The Hawai‘i Wildlife Center provides medical and rehabilitative care for all species of native birds and the Hawaiian hoary bat. A majority of patients each year are seabirds and HWC receives the occasional vagrant as well! In this presentation, Dr. Juan will share some of the interesting species that HWC has cared for through the years as well as their recovery stories.
You can support the care of Hawai‘i’s native birds and bats by making a donation to the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center!
