West Winnipeg - 2018 / A Death in the Family - Beatrix (2011-2018)
The Peregrine Chick:
News story about Beatrix on NBC affiliate in Dallas/Fort Worth - includes video
Rare Peregrine Falcon Injured in North Texas
They mention they are concerned about her eyesight but they are less concerned about it every day. It's one of the things they will have checked out by the vet (an ophthalmic specialist) when she has her appointment. I reported before that they are planning to try her out in a flight cage before she sees the vet, that's because they are less worried about her eyesight now than the were when she came in last week and they want/need to know if she'll fly. She's being stubborn about feeding herself so getting her flying could get her feeding herself which would be good - she's not going hungry we just need to get back into shape for her to have a successful re-release.
And yes they got her nest site wrong - they were asking if there was a webcam to watch her and I was explaining that we only had a came on one site and it was where she hatched not where she nested. Probably my fault in the explaining, it was a long distance conference call while they were on-site with Beatrix.
They did use Dennis' photo of Beatrix from last year' banding however - now they are both (Beatrix and Dennis) internationally famous!

The Peregrine Chick:
Spoke to the rehab centre and Beatrix is still doing great and they are going to try her in a flight cage and see what she wants to do. Even though she is doing very well, they are still going to have her seen by a vet. So, still good news.

There is always so much drama in the PF world at this time of year! I am keeping fingers and toes crossed that Beatrix is ok and that she can come "home". Looking forward to good news.
