Releases are usually done by volunteers, with videos posted on our website. Some releases have been public events, with attendance ranging from 100 to 800 residents of Indiana who are committed to wildlife. Elevent (11) were placed at zoos and wildlife centers around the country. Please see Schedule O for further information. 6585 15390 Education: Soarin Hawk volunteers makes educational presentations at schools, libraries, nature parks, nature groups, and to home-schoolers and individual events. We provided 61 education programs during the 2019/2020 fiscal year, which is about one-half of our usual number. The reduction was due to COVID-19 restrictions. To continue to achieve our educational goals, we instituted a weekly (raptor) science seminar that is posted on social media. So far during the 2020/2021 year, we have provided 29 programs. Attendance has been very good, averaging 1,000 attendees, with one event having over 7,000 attendees. 78563 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 0 false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false IN X Mike Dobbs 2604029627 10716 Maple Springs Cove Fort Wayne IN 46845 X Ted Geers President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael E Dobbs Vice President 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bob Walton Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sheryl Wiser Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Abigail Butler Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andy Candor Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 91099 91099 Education Outreach Fees 611600 15390 15390 15390 262 262 0 0 0 0 0 0 857 945 -88 -88 0 106663 15302 262 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 10066 10066 0 0 1104 1104 0 245 245 8749 8749 0 0 135 135 9404 7393 2011 0 3619 1647 1316 656 2506 973 195 1338 0 8330 8330 661 661 0 5027 5027 0 0 12936 12936 2693 2075 618 Rehabilitation Equipment 16098 16098 Rehabilitation Supplies 10548 10548 Volunteer Recognition 751 751 Educational Publications 709 709 0 93581 78563 13024 1994 217836 178733 87867 0 5196 4940 0 0 0 0 0 564 564 423111 14006 271014 409105 10051 9699 0 0 0 1 0 592529 603041 2174 105 2174 105 X 402846 561061 187509 41875 590355 602936 592529 603041 13082 -501 X false false false X 12228 19814 31301 577156 91077 731576 0 0 12228 19814 31301 577156 91077 731576 391240 340336 0 0 0 731576 0.46520 0.42880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10010 -166 145 9699 10010 10010 1.00000 true false false 88650 88650 171121 2754 168367 83676 2753 80923 43604 7777 35827 36060 722 35338 409105 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

Part III, line 4b (continued) Soarin Hawk has 24 resident education raptors that have been rescued and treated, but which are unable to return to the wild due to lasting effects of their injuries. At the end of December 2019, Soarin Hawk moved most of the operations into new facility in Huntertown. We continued to operate our triage center at a temporary facility in another part of Huntertown. Note: The triage center is scheduled to move into the new location in early November, 2020. Bird releases are usually done by volunteers who often make videos that are shown on the Soarin Hawk website. Sometimes releases are public events, such as in November 2018, when a juvenile bald eagle that had been with Soarin Hawk for two years was released at Salamonie Reservoir in Huntington County. The eagle had been found in 2016 with a broken leg and feathers that had been chewed so badly by mites that it was unable to fly. Soarin Hawk replaced the damaged feathers with feathers from an eagle carcass and rehabilitated the bird. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, which manages Salamonie, estimated that 500-800 people attended the release event. In May, Soarin Hawk broke ground in Huntertown for its first permanent home. Thiscapped a two-year search for a new location. Soarin Hawk volunteers and friends arebuilding the new facility, which will include new, modern recovery enclosures andhabitats that are designed to provide a natural setting for the raptors, while minimizing maintenance; an aviary that will enable our volunteers to exercise multiple birds in all weather conditions, which results in the return of birds-of-prey to their natural environment more quickly; and an operations building that will provide climate controlled space for triage and treatment, a preparation area for raptors food, and serve as a base for Soarin' Hawk's volunteers. The site also will include restoring a portion of the acreage to much needed Prairie, Pollinator and Riparian habitats. Indiana Michigan Power (I & M) was a major contributor that donated $100,000 to the project. I & M and Soarin Hawk have worked together in wildlife conservation since 1993 with the introduction of peregrine falcons to Fort Wayne and the placing of a nesting box on top of Indiana Michigan Power Center. Soarin Hawk volunteers assist the Indiana Department of Natural Resources with banding falcon chicks several weeks after they hatch. The tradition continued in the spring of 2019, with the banding of four newborns. Another milestone was the purchase of a new (low-mileage, used) van to replace the existing van, which was becoming a challenge to maintain and operate safely. The van is used to transport birds and their volunteer handlers to educational presentations.
