On Wednesday, the peregrine S2 visited the veterinarian Caroline Hommers for an X-ray of her wing. This shows that the bone is properly fused; according to the vet, the bone is now probably stronger than ever.
It's not confirmed that the 3rd fledgling has died that I know of. Lincoln writes of a young hawk that was picked up in Central Park that died and said it could be Pale Male's. The last time it was seen was on Aug. 17th, by Jeff Johnson, who took several pics of Opera Star that day and it was healthy. It's my understanding that fledglings move further out of the area as their skills progress, like Rosie and Bobby's have, so OS might not be seen now. I hope that's the reason for no recent sightings. The whole thing with this secondary rodenticide poisoning is heartbreaking.
