Virtual tour of HOO
Our Very First Bobcat
I always love to study new wildlife when they come in from a hidden area and Honey as I have named her is no different. (By the way I do not know if it is a boy or girl)
She is very shy and private. She likes to be up high and hides herself in her area a lot.
When she feels comfortable she will stretch out on a shelf. When you come out for a tour you are unable to see her at least right now as I do not want to stress her.
As we all know here at Hoo Haven it is all about the wildlife.
We are looking at building a new pen to house her as we may have her for a while. If you are interested in giving $50 or more for the “bobcat fund” either do PayPal or a check.
When we are able to help it gives me a warm fuzzy. Due to all the permits and licenses required I am glad we are here.
My favorite saying to all who know me is “we do not own Mother Earth” we simply rent or borrow while we are here. What we leave behind is our legacy. There has to be room for all of us since we are supposed to be the smartest.
God Bless to all who support us and all the wildlife we help.

Honey the bobcat. she sure has grown
On Saturday June 16, 2018 at Deer Run Forest Preserve, approximately 350 people attended one of the largest simulations releases of rehabilitated Eagles in Illinois. Three American Bald Eagles were released back into the wild, one 7 to 8 year old adult and two 15 month old juveniles. Excellent photos and coverage was given by Joseph Zuzevich, WIFR Chanel 23, and the Rockford Register Star. Click on the three links below to see the wonderful photos, videos, and information provided by the above.
Hoo Haven has taken in 85 Bald Eagles and 1 Golden Eagle to date, for rehabilitation.

Busy months at Hoo Haven
Our Pelican Wine Tasting was a huge success. Enjoy the pictures compliments of our photographer, Maribel.
With the band “Firelight Dimmers” and a beautiful arrangement of hors d’ oeuvres, which included many cheeses, fruit and more, it was an awesome evening.
“Firelight Dimmers” played, entertained and added so much class to our event. We had nothing but compliments.
We raised $4,500 dollars on top of having a great time and seeing all of our supporters.
Also thank you to Prairie Street Brew House for once again going out of their way with wines, people to help us and always being there.
Thank you to all who supported us.
