NE / Lincoln - 2020 / 19K & Alley
The Peregrine Chick:
Got an update from Alley's rehabbers. She was seen by the vet today and healed fracture of one leg that has healed crooked but doesn't appear to be problematic. She does however have bumblefoot, a fungal foot infection on both feet which the vet is optimistic she can recover from and be re-released. They will keep us in the loop on her recovery but it will be a waiting game. I don't know how much infection there might be, but it can be slow to sort out, so she may be spending the winter in care. That's a question for a later date. But might not be a bad thing, means she doesn't have to risk migration.
Will keep everyone in the loop - more news as I get it.
The Peregrine Chick:
Just to confirm what RCF posted, I have contacted Alley's rehab organization and now it is a waiting game until we hear more. Could be that I will get an email or it could be that updates are posted on the Lincoln Peregrines' Facebook page.
carly:
Thank you for the update on Alley - I know she hadn't been seen for awhile and I did wonder if something had happened to her. Glad to know she's being cared for. :-*
RCF:
Good and Bad News! :-\
Alley had been picked up near a highway a few days ago in Lincoln. This is the information on the Peregrine Falcons Lincoln Ne facebook page. I let Tracy know, she will probably let us know if she hears any more information about Alley.

FYI... I got a message from Carri tonight (10-13-20) that said this...
"Hey Jeanne, just keeping you in the loop. I just heard from Elaine and Mama was picked up off the median on HWY 34 yesterday by volunteer Todd. She is uninjured as far as we can tell but she is thin. She spent the night with Elaine and was transported this morning to the raptor center at Elmwood by volunteer Brooke. That’s all I know for now."
Carri will keep me updated and I will keep you all updated as well. Please do not try and call and check on her as that floods them with to many calls. Thank you!!!
Mama is is very good hands and will be taken well care of, and they will check her feet too which had been a concern as the right one has a black growth on it.
Thanks to all involved for the great efforts to get Mama the help she needs.
Thanks to Carri for letting us know.
10-13-20.
UPDATE: Carri just let me know Mama wasted no time and chowed down on a quail
Mama update. 10-14-2020.
So far so good. She is eating good. No obvious injuries, they will watch her and let her get her bearings and continue to evaluate her. This is all I know for now.
Please be patient and wait for updates to be posted here as they will let me know when they have any news. Please do not try to call and check on her as this floods them with to many calls.
Thanks for your cooperation.
