Falcon found injured in Winnipeg

Its not very often we get in a wild patient that we are able to track its history, but we did this week! This Peregrine Falcon who is known as Beau was found injured in Winnipeg and because he is banded, we were able to learn all about him. He was captive born and released to the wild in 2007 by Parkland Mews, a centre in Manitoba that breeds Peregrine Falcons to be populated back into the wild. Peregrine Falcon have been listed as an endangered species in Manitoba since 1992. The Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project, another organization in Manitoba that tracks several groups of Peregrines around the province has been observing him successfully return to a nest site in West Winnipeg each year since 2010. We are not exactly sure what the cause of his injuries were but he was found within his known hunting range with a fractured wing and several deep cuts. He will be going into surgery early next week at Centennial Animal Hospital, so many thanks to them for all their donated help!
