Sorry I missed both of your Bday's on Facebook. Thanks for all your wonderful falcon photos and I hope you had great Birthdays

Thank you very much Linda, I had a fine day! 

 25,000 's        Nice write up Shaky!  Donna was all that and a bag of chips!    Love her lots!   We all are forever changed for having known her!

I'm very sad to announce that our dear friend Donna passed away in her sleep last night. Please keep her daughter and son in your thoughts as they just lost their father a few short months ago as well. Fly free with Ed my friend! Love you!    <3

  Lucifer is dead

It is with great sadness we have to announce that I just received a picture via text confirming the death of the Kitchener Peregrine Falcon that we released last week.

I am unsure on how or why he died at the moment.

  Feel bad for ALL the lost falcon lives this year! 

Kitchener, Ontario:  Some good news for a change  Lucifer, the resident male that was injured only a few days after his babies hatched was released yesterday at his nest site!

After 92 days of absence the CTV Kitchener Peregrine has returned to the skies also.

Although it appeared he had some trouble gaining height after he flew from the box making me hold my breath he made up for it by flying up pretty much vertically as only a Peregrine can a bit later (not on video).

We are grateful for our team of awesome vets at OVC Small Animal Clinic and Scott Veterinary Clinic who did all the surgical work to make his recovery possible.

[the Peregrine from Hamilton: X-rays show a fracture of the metacarpus. It is being dealt with and hopefully he will recover fully.]

Updates:

- the opossum with the eye injury: Dr. Lee removed the sutures today. The eye is healing, but the ulcer is still there, so we will continue with the medication and hopefully it will resolve itself.

-the Peregrine from Hamilton: X-rays show a fracture of the metacarpus. It is being dealt with and hopefully he will recover fully.



Many thanks to the always amazing Dr. Lee and her staff at Scott Veterinary Clinic.

I wish him a speedy recovery so he can speed outta there! Thanks Carly!

Yeah, what Donna said!
