Falcon on the mend; return to nature on hold.

According to records on file with the Michigan Peregrine Society database, Allegro is 14 years old and was hatched in Cleveland.

He is about 16 inches long and weighs approximately 1 1/2 pounds.

He is such a beautiful bird!  Poor dearie,  I hate when they slam into things.  Stunned and unresponsive is pretty scary.  So glad he was found and put in rehab

Thank you for the update, Donna! Allegro looks much improved in the pic with the article; I hope he continues to do well and makes a full recovery.

A very handsome bird.  I hope the best for him.
He looks good for 14 years!
