Title: Injured adult Falcon released (MA) Post by: Donna on 10-Oct-09, 06:42:45 AM :falcon:
An adult female peregrine falcon flew into a glass door last Thursday and was brought to Wild Care in Eastham, the Cape’s Emergency Wildlife Clinic, where it was treated for “critical injuries,” according to executive director Lela Larned. A team of volunteer veterinarians worked on the bird and by Sunday afternoon the falcon was released. :2thumbsup: State wildlife biologists suspect the falcon may have been en route from Iceland or Newfoundland to her wintering grounds in South America.
