Radisson - 2011 / A Death in the Family - Vesper
bcbird:
Very sad news. As Carly said, at least this is confirmation that Vesper survived past her first year.
Helen b:
rest in peace

Sad news indeed...on a positive note, that's why they have bands not only to track their migration but to ID birds.
A few photos of Vesper can be seen at this link, near the bottom of the gallery...just look for the bright pink shirt that TPC had on that morning 8)

The Peregrine Chick:
I don't have any details, don't even know if the plane was in motion when she fit it/it hit her.
One thing is that it does seem like an odd time for her to be hanging out in Texas, as far as we know, our kids go much further south. May have to go check my sightings records and see when we've had other observations/deaths in the winter.
And as far as we know, this is only the second time we've had a confirmed aircraft strike since 1981 - the other report was at an airport in New York City back in the early 1990s if I remember correctly.
