Birds of Prey in North America

Update time, and this is a long one.

Five new species included since last update, which is unusual for on of these threads: White-tailed Hawk, Short-tailed Hawk, Verreaux's Eagle, Short-toed Snake-Eagle, and Black-chested Snake-Eagle. This brings the group to at least 68 species present.

Anything with more than 25 holders will be in spoilers due to length of the thread.

Bay Beach no longer keeps White-tailed Kite.

Timbavai Wildlife Park no longer keeps Tawny Eagle.

I can confirm Bay Beach still keeps Cooper's Hawk.

Omaha does not keep Secratarybird, unless they're bts.
 
Dallas no longer has African Fish Eagle(at least not on display)

Fort Worth also has African Fish Eagle, Cape Vulture, Cinerous Vulture but do not have African White-Backed Vulture anymore

Houston has Hooded Vulture, Rueppell's Griffon Vulture, and Cape Vulture

San Antonio does not have Bateleur Eagle and hasn't since 2016(unless they are bts)
 
Black vulture and turkey vulture are both kept at both Magnolia Plantation and Charles Towne Landing. Charles Towne Landing also keeps bald eagle.
 
White-tailed kite is also at Lindsay Wildlife Experience, and lesser yellow-headed vulture should be at Catoctin (I saw it there last year).
 
Richardson Nature Center has a Broad-Winged Hawk.

West Wood Hills Nature Center had a Red Tailed Hawk

Hemker has Steller’s Sea Eagle.

Pretty sure San Diego hasn’t had Bateleur for a couple months now.
