This Turkey Vulture has now been released after over a month in care after a suspected vehicle collision left the patient with missing feathers and “road rash” type wounds over the body. This juvenile was rescued by Loudoun County Animal Services and Kristi's Caring Hands Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education and quickly brought to our hospital for care. In addition to the wounds, the vulture was mildly ataxic (had balance/coordination difficulties) on admission, possibly due to head trauma. For

Patient Release: Turkey Vultures It has been quite a busy season of vulture rehabilitation at Cedar Run! These two immature Turkey Vultures were admitted to our Wildlife Hospital a few weeks apart after being found unable to fly.
