Thank you for visiting HawkTalk.Org
Call us at 1-770-720-1847 to discuss hawk rescue. We care for raptors (birds of prey) that cannot be released back to the wild.
We also rehabilitate hawks, owls, eagles, kites, falcons and ospreys.
We need Mouse Money and general support!

We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization located in North Georgia providing hawk rescue and care for other raptors (birds of prey) including owls, eagles, falcons and osprey.
We operate our facility based on donations from caring people who, for one reason or another, aren’t in the position to be rehabbers themselves, but are interested in and dedicated to the preservation and protection of raptors.
We also do off site programs for schools, nature centers, scouts, birthday parties, public displays, etc. This is done on a fee basis. Please call for details!
Hacking for hawk rescue or owl rehabilitation.
Hacking is an old falconry technique that is literally, thousands of years old. Hacking (AKA soft release) is how we re-introduced the Golden Eagle back to the Cumberland Plateau in northwest Georgia, the American Bald eagle to the Lake Allatoona area north of Atlanta and the Peregrine Falcon in downtown Atlanta. We can help you with this procedure or provide it as a service.
For more information, see our blog post on Hacking Orphaned Hawks and Owls.
Here’s what we have going at Facebook

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook

I miss seeing Monteen's babies
Well, you'll notice we don't have a Giving Tuesday campaign today, and that's because we were never sent the campaign link. SO I'll just have to do it myself.If you would like to help our little charity keep going, here are some options:PayPal - monteen@hawktalk.orgVenmo - @monteenmccord last 4 of cell # 4736Cash App - #EliaMcCordIf you send a check to our physical address, please just address it to the charity:HawkTalk6730 Union Hill RdCanton, GA 30115The reason not to include my last name is because the postal lady is now dyslexic and is sending my personal mail to 6307 because their last name ALSO begins with an Mc. *sigh*I'm sad that we fell between the cracks with FB sending the Giving Tuesday link, but it is what it is. Life gives me lemons, I make lemonade.Thank you for your consideration again this year! All money apps go to the charity account and everything is tax deductible 58-2099672 ....m.

This is the second winter Hank hasn't shown up. I think he wintered here 13 years. I miss his fuzzy face.

Apparently, this has been a thing for a wee while. Issues (besides the obvious murder) are that 1) the "plan" is expensive 2) No one has actually prepared for the impact and 3) Barred Owls are not actually "invasive", though they may be displacing the Spotted Owls - are they the only reason for Spotted Owl population declination in the area? Personally, the currently proposed management program seems like a "Ready, Fire, Aim" type of response. I hope we do better. If anyone wants to read further about the matter, I've included a link from earlier this year: ross.house.gov/2025/3/there-s-a-plan-to-kill-450-000-barred-owls-lawmakers-want-the-trump-adminis...
One last plea for not using fake spider webs for your Halloween yard decorations. Use indoors ONLY.This stuff is a petroleum based product that not only is not biodegradable but all kinds of small animals get caught in it and hang there until they die a miserable death.The people who make it don't care and the people who buy it don't know any better. Let's try to fix that.Photo of Screech owl pulled from Google images
