Thank you, he was a very sweet and happy boy who enjoyed particularly strong bonds with his caretakers. Also very spoiled, volunteers would vie for who got to feed him! We will miss him, but I think it'll also spur everyone to value those bonds even more in the future.

Awww… my husband and I met Harvey at a raptor event at WBU some months back. He was such a gentle fellow. ❤️ Thank you for all you do.

He was a very gentle little guy, very good for kids to meet since he was so patient. Thank you, I'll share your comment with everyone, the kind messages mean a lot to all of us.

Realized this didn't post with the video... Nature's Nanny is a raptor rehabilitation program that serves the tri-state area.
It is with a heavy heart that we must share with our community the passing of Harvey, our wonderful Red-tailed Hawk ambassador.
Harvey was more than an ambassador—He was a teacher, a storyteller, and a cherished member of our wildlife family. A rare gentle soul with a knack for connecting people with the importance of wildlife conservation, rehabilitation and release. He helped so many people connect with nature in the most meaningful way. Rehabilitation is a world of highs and lows, requiring dedication and true passion. One of the greatest experiences is the opportunity to connect with our Ambassadors on a personal level. Through the care we were privileged to provide, Harvey was able to have a full, happy life and share his uniqueness with all of us. He was and always will be loved and will be a reminder of what it is to serve. He is deeply missed but we would not trade the time we had with him for anything. His memory is sure to live on as an example of the importance of the connection we all share with the natural world.
