Mia the Red-tailed Hawk at Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary

Arrived 2011 | Estimated Born 2009

Mia came to YWS from Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks with a wing injury that left her unable to live in the wild. She is fed rats, and enjoys training activities with our animal care team. Mia was introduced to Chris Pine in 2024 and can often be heard in the summer season screeching and laying claim to their territory.
