Hawk Mother Returns

Hawk Mother Returns Synopsis

An injured red-tailed hawk can no longer fly free, but her instinct to become a mother is so strong that she adopts and raises two abandoned red-shouldered hawks in this true and heartwarming story of interspecies friendship.

When someone cuts down a tree containing a nest, two hawk eggs are in desperate need of help. Sunshine the hawk mother to the rescue! 

Sunshine is a red-tailed hawk who can no longer fly. Her mothering instinct is so strong that she once successfully raised two chicken eggs to adulthood. She seems like the perfect choice to adopt these eggs. But there is a problem: The eggs are red-shouldered hawks, not red-tailed hawks, and one of them has already hatched.  Will Sunshine accept an egg and newly hatched chick of a competing hawk species? Will Sunshine be a mother again?  Find out in this uplifting sequel about interspecies adoption and the deep trust and understanding between Sunshine and zoologist Kara Hagedorn.
