Bird Down

You just never know what the day will bring ?

As I’m enjoying my morning coffee and read an email then a text that states an injured bird was found in the Selkirk area. My contact went on to say that it looked like a Peregrine ?

After a couple texts and emails I received a photo of the injured bird along with an address and confirmed that it was in fact a Peregrine.

Phone call to Tracy (Peregrine Project Coordinator) and we met at the location. It took some time to locate the bird that had a very good hiding spot. Short time later the bird was in a carrier and on it’s way from the Lockport area to Wildlife Haven Rehab Center.

The bird was unbanded and we think that it may be a Tundra bird that was migrating through ?

It appeared that the bird had a broken wing from what we could tell…will have to wait and see what the outcome is.

He had no plans to share his meal with the Mrs at that point. Off he went to another pole to eat his catch before returning with the leftovers…it’s not uncommon for this to take well over an hour.
During this time the female was continually calling until he returned.
