Form 990, Part III, Line 4a 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. We have completed our first year of operation in our new facility. The new facility has improved our rehabilitation through-put, and also enabled us to offer on-site and virtual programs. 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. This capped a two-year search for a new location. Soarin' Hawk volunteers and friends are building the new facility, which will include new, modern recovery enclosures and habitats 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. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Soarin' Hawk volunteers make educational presentations at schools, home-schoolers, libraries, nature parks, nature groups, private events and community events. To continue to achieve our educational goals, we started continue to expand our program offerings: 1) This year we started a new program, called Raptor Adventure, which is an on-site education program.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b the Treasurer reviews Form 990 prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 No other documents made available to the public. The organization is filing a short-year return for the period July 1, 2021 thru December 31, 2021. The IRS approved tax software, Lacerte,would not efile the return because the return for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 had been filed using the same tax year. Lacerte support told us we needed to file a paper return. We filed a paper return by the extended due date of November 15, 2022. We then received a notice that we were not allowed to file a paper return for returns filed subsequent to July 1, 2020. As a result, we have re-entered all of the data into Form990online so that we can e-file the short-year return. No penalty or late fee should be assessed.
