mascot underwent a successful surgery to remove a growth from the bird's left foot at WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine.
Doctors removed the jelly-bean sized mass on the augur hawk's foot on March 15. Testing showed that the growth was likely caused by an inflammatory response to a small foreign body like a splinter or thorn. "His surgery went very, very well, and fortunately the mass was not cancerous," said Dr. Marcie Logsdon, a falconer and an exotics veterinarian at WSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Pullman. "He should be all ready to go for the season opener and another Super Bowl run for the Seahawks.""You are always nervous when anesthesia is involved with raptors, so when Dr. Logsdon texted me and said the procedure had gone perfect, that was a big relief," Knutson said.
The 17-year-old hawk plays an important role before each Seahawks home game, flying out of the tunnel and leading the team onto the field.The Seattle Seahawks agreed to terms with quarterback Geno Smith on a three-year contract Monday that keeps the AP comeback player of the year in the Pacific Northwest.
Knutson, a master falconer, has been performing with a live hawk at Seahawks games since the opening season of Lumen Field, called Seahawks Stadium at the time.that I have read and agree
