you and yours deserve to know. It is important enough.
Does not feel good at this point. It’s disturbing actually.
It is likely the person who picked the bird up has no idea what it is or that it should be turned over to the provincial government. How many of us stop to pick up small creatures hit by cars, how many of us report individual birds that hit the windows of our homes? What we know about, we do. We know about peregrines, most of the world does not. And if the bird was tossed in the garbage, it wouldn't be the first time in the history of the project and it was good of the person not to leave a dead creature on a public thoroughfare. Most folks walk right past those things and assume someone else will deal with it.
And yes, it was just unfortunate that the folks who reported were unable to retrieve it but not their fault they don't travel with large plastic bags and have a freezer to put the body in until it could get picked up. Most folks don't. It is fortunate however that they reported it however otherwise we would never know even that much.
And who knows what we may hear, the world is a funny place, sometimes things that seem impossible, aren't.
