He's flying!

This is such a wonderful photo for one reason. MIKHAIL, on his first day in the large flight area, has made it to the very highest wall perch. He's not on it in this photo because when I went in he flew around and landed on the next one down. This beautiful year old Prairie Falcon came in last year with a fractured wing. Drs. Blessing and Pedersen did the repair surgery and as you can see, it's a great success. Now all he has to do is get strong enough for release which will be in a few months when the weather is nice.
