Re: Wildlife
the bighorn sheep in Curtis' shot is probably not going in the direction of the coyote in the background!

Re: Wildlife
Do you know if the peregrine was able to be rehabilitated?osprey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 1:07 pm I saw an injured peregrine falcon by the road this morning.
The osprey and peregrine languages are closely related and I was able to coax it into my car and take it home where it will be safe until the Department of Wildlife is able to pick it up. It has a broken right wing but hopefully it can be rehabilitated and resume it’s flying. C56794EA-CC03-464E-8C7B-199C916DB82B.jpeg

No. I sent a text to the rehab center about two weeks ago and have not received a reply.
I will follow up with them next week.

Re: Wildlife
The peregrine was taken to the Southwest Avian Protection Services and examined by a veterinarian.
The right wing was completely shattered and the falcon had to be euthanized.
It must have been hunting near the highway and hit by a vehicle.
Totally sad.

Re: Wildlife
Very sad and tragic, but you helped significantly so he wasn't suffering anymore. Thank you for the update!
