For the first time, cataract surgery has restored a falcon's sight. A team of veterinarians and vision specialists from around the globe collaborated to restore sight to Banner, a four-year-old Lanner Falcon. The surgery was performed on Monday to restore Banner's vision.

Fascinating. I guess I didn't realize that birds could get cataracts. And at a fairly young age, too. I hope Banner does well in his recovery.

That was done here in New Hampshire. It was in the paper here beginning of the week. Computer idiot that I am -I didn't know how to post it here. The paper is the New Hampshire Union Leader.
