Another animal moves towards extinction. 😢

Hard to tell, when you blow it up it gets distorted.  I did see Loza's video and in that one she wasn't banded - of course with all the females coming through here it could be yet another one.  I didn't watch much the past few years so I couldn't say if it's still the female VV but to me on first blush this new one looks younger and she has that white above her cere which VV didn't seem to have.  But like I said, I didn't watch enough to really be an expert on making a determination and they do have some similarities.  It's so hard to tell with unbanded falcons - the same bird can look so different at times.  For all we know they could be sisters from different years as both are unbanded.

I just hope the site settles down and that this female, whoever she is, is strong enough to end the carnage and hold the site.

The more I studied the legs, I think there’s no bands.  Thanks for looking though!

DC's still hoping for an egg here

Going out on a limb here..Loza, on BCAW, posted this pic. She says “no ringsâ€�.  Some are speculating that VV might be back.  I’m pretty sure I see a “VVâ€� on the left leg band in this pic...thoughts?

MEC - Egg #3 for Midnight and Renegade has arrived!

Our hearts are heavy at Wild Wings as we share with everyone the passing of our beloved Bobcat, Tara.
She had been limping on her leg and while the vets were hoping it would heal, further tests on Wednesday revealed osteosarcoma or bone cancer. The only humane option was to have the vets euthanize her.
She was 21 years young and extremely active up until the last few weeks. Tara was a favorite of many and so loved. It was truly a privilege and honor for those of us who cared for her and for all our visitors to view a bobcat up close and learn about this amazing native species. It is a heartbreaking loss.
Many thanks to those of you who donate to Wild Wings and some who regularly donate to Tara specifically. You have allowed her to have the best possible care in captivity.

      Sad news. 

Not sure what happened here but Ella has a serious eye injury.  This is a tough site to hold under normal circumstances, will be tough if only one eye is working

Not sure if it's over yet but the female - ma and pa's grand daughter looks to have a wing injury and I saw blood on her in the last video of her seen.  The other female may have won but not definitive yet.  I'm just watching other people's observations.

That's sad to hear.  I haven't watched in a few years, because of all the turmoil, but I do read online postings...tough to watch.

Read about this yesterday...horrific!
