I forgot one....

I can't believe I forgot to include a photo of this huge bird. This is TRONA, an adult female golden that came to IBR from Green River a few months ago after being found in a service yard at a trona field. We thought the injuries to her right wing might have been electrocution burns but after having her for a month it was decided they came from something else. The folicles in the tip of the wing that enables the body to produce needed feathers were apparently permanently injured so she cannot replace them. That makes her non-releasable so she's now waiting for placement at a facility for use as an educational bird. She's huge, she's very active, she's a great eater and will be an addition to any program.
