We now have a brief update on Spirit!

Eve shows us her beautiful feathers this afternoon with summer flavours! And by the way, I've heard from spirit. She's doing well, her elbow swelling remains a problem, but the rest has evolved very well, the extension of her wing is good according to Dr. Fitzgerald's words. Too early to see if she can be released.

Éole at the nest today:
Eve spends time at the nest fairly frequently.
I keep checking for new updates on Spirit, but have found none so far.
burdi:
After reading through other Facebook posts it appears that the male (mentioned by Alison on July 26) who was noticed in the area where Spirit was rescued - is still there! And since he continues to be observed alone it seems more and more likely that he could be waiting for Spirit to return ... however, it hasn't been determined whether or not she will fly again ... I've been thinking about Spirit every day.

A big thank you to all the staff of the clinic of birds of prey for the care given to our dear Spirit. I was lucky to hear from her today, she is getting better and better, her elbow is getting better. She eats well by herself, is given anti-pain twice a day. The drugs are in his food, so the stress caused by human contact is at a minimum. We do not know if she will be able to fly one more day, but she is in very good hands. We look forward to seeing the progress she will make in the coming weeks under your care ...

Thank you for the update, Burdi! Spirit is a very courageous falcon.
Here is another short update from a different source, dated today, which I translated from the French.
A new twist in the story of the peregrine falcons at l'Université de Montréal: Spirit was probably not alone at the place where she was found!
In fact, I observed for a long time this morning an unbanded peregrine falcon perched on the water tower at the foot of which Spirit was found. This peregrine vocalized several times, but I did not see any other falcon. Was he looking for Spirit, or is it that he was talking to himself? It is a mystery. Here is the first view of this peregrine.

To be continued . . .
In the video, the peregrine is animated and e-chupping, which makes me think that perhaps he has a mate close by.
