The female hawk came to the zoo from a wildlife rehabilitator and is healing from a broken wing. Zoo staff is currently training Rudy so that after she is fully rehabilitated will become an education ambassador for the zoo and the college. Rudy’s exhibit will be located in the peasantry just north of the lower Andean bear viewing area. She will be ready to meet the public in early May. “Rudy is an important animal ambassador because she allows guests to get close to, observe, and learn about a species from right here in Wisconsin,” said Jay R. Christie, zoo president and CEO. “Thank you to Gateway for making this a learning opportunity for the entire community.” Gateway sponsored the hawk and exhibit, and Rudy will make appearances with educational staff at events and schools to provide a means for children and adults alike to learn about one of the most common and beautiful birds of prey in Wisconsin. Rudy’s exhibit will be outfitted with a live web camera so educators from around the world with Internet connection can teach their students about red-tailed hawks, their habitat, and efforts to conserve these birds in the wild.
