The purpose of this "mew cam" is multifold. First, to the uninitiated private citizen it educates them regarding the exceptional care that federally licensed falconers use to ensure the heath and welfare of captive birds of prey. Secondly, it provides the falconer with a way to check on the safety and health of his or her falconry birds from a remote location.

Why is the hawk in the mew? Each year from April-September we allow our raptors to have a much needed rest in order to molt their old feathers and (if the permits have been obtained) rear offspring. If you're viewing this page from September-March and you don't see "Helena", it's because she's out flying!
