Tracy Aviary Welcomes Storm the Red-Tailed Hawk

Tracy Aviary
Welcomes
Storm, the Red-Tailed Hawk







This month, Tracy Aviary is very pleased to welcome Storm the red-tailed hawk into their bird programs family. Storm is six years old and comes to the Aviary as a generous donation from a falconer in Pennsylvania. Tracy Aviary thanks consultant, Phung Luu, for connecting them to this opportunity.

When Storm wasn't out hunting with his falconer, he was active in educational programs and even flew in some renaissance festivals. At the Aviary, Storm's fame will reach new heights in their fledgling partnership with the University of Utah Athletics Department. He is slated to join Swoop, his human counterpart, as a Utes mascot and will be soaring into the stadium in dramatic style at the beginning of each home football game. Fans can see Storm fly into the Rice-Eccles Stadium for the first time on September 2 this year.

In addition to his appearances at University of Utah events, Storm will be featured in 2011 free-flight bird show and outreach programs.
