Turkey Vulture

September 1, 2021

This juvenile turkey vulture was rescued on Highway 12 near Aberdeen, WA. He suffered fractures to his right radius and ulna from a presumed vehicle collision. Our veterinary team performed surgery and placed multiple pins to stabilize the fractures and promote proper remodeling of the bones. We hope this young vulture will recover quickly before migration ends, otherwise, we will continue to care for him through the winter until he can be released next spring.
