I headed west again to near the town of Wapiti on a call from a tourist and the Forest Service about a Peregrine Falcon that was found in the middle of the Wapiti Campground. Turns out it is an adult female and she has a very badly broken left wing. She, too, will be heading to the vet today for x-rays and a diagnosis on her chances.
Again, this is probably a mom and the same rules apply as to job description for the golden below and this amazingly beautiful falcon. The very bad news is that there is no way I can get this bird back in the air before the end of Summer, if at all. And Peregrine's have many more chicks than eagles so there are that many more sky hunters that won't be there.
SAD NOTE: MISSY died last night. She went through a long, arduous surgery the day before and it was just too much for her stressed system. She will be mourned.
