Peep Broad Wing Hawk


Why the name?
Because she constantly says “Peep” when appearing in public.


Rehab history
Peep came to RCV in spring 1999 and was shifted to education status that fall.


Story

Peep was brought to RCV with a badly fractured left wing and left leg; she was probably hit by a car. After surgery, Peep healed well but was left with little ability to extend the left wing and fly. This calm female has been making public appearances for RCV for over 9 years.
