From all of us at Winged Freedom Raptor Hospital, a HUGE Thank You for the support and encouragement we have received in 2025. It is our honor every day to be entrusted with the care of these amazing raptors, and we strive every day to provide the best care possible.
2026 holds such great promise of new adventures for Winged Freedom. Construction of Invictus's Wing has begun, a custom enclosure for our eagle in training. When he is ready we hope to visit classrooms and groups to spread the word about Bald Eagles and our work saving them. Each year we admit more raptors desperate for care for their afflictions, and we save and release more birds successfully. We admitted 272 new birds in 2025 and over 100 of those were Bald Eagles. We have shared our knowledge with interns and mentored students, and look forward to hiring our first paid employee, a veterinarian interested in raptors who will provide our founder and full time veterinarian a couple of days off each week.
We can feel that you value what we are doing. We feel it from the kind words expressed in holiday cards and in notes accompanying donations. We hear it from casual encounters at the grocery store, from comments on our posts, and from feedback at our public releases. Thank you for your generosity and continued support. Your donations are saving lives.
