Sullivan can no longer fly well due to an amputated wing tip resulting from 
a presumed collision with a fence in Monterey County California.  He is 
responding well to training as an education bird at the UC Davis California 
Raptor Center (CRC).  He's generally very calm and he's tethered to his 
handler's glove but it's clear when a small child walks past that he's still 
a hunter:
