It goes well with S2

Gemert, August 7, 2011

S2 is doing well and actually has little to report.
She sits quietly in her residence (HxWxD 90x60x60) which is shielded by a white blind. This residence is a site where they perch quietly spends her days. The blind should not let them get stimulated by outside influences.
It gets a bit monotonous but still eats well, is quiet and seemingly has no problems with her wing and fixation. It therefore remains hopeful but X-rays must have three weeks more clarity on a full recovery.
If the radiographs show well-repaired cracks, the pins are removed at a later date. After removal of the pins and their fixation on her condition she will have to go over and then bring us back into the wild. S2 will basically get her freedom back to where she was found, it would not be in the vicinity of the tower are the mortar. Crow flies, it is a piece of nothing and the tower from here at altitude visible.
Then she stands for a new challenge in her life, she returns to the tower in De Mortel?
If so, then she will have to enter into a confrontation with her compatriot and is it still appeals to her husband Pa? Exciting times for all parties, both for the peregrine falcons and for many visitors to our website where the images refresh to see and visitors to the various forums. But also for visitors to the field spotters and the immediate vicinity of the tower of the mortar. They will then be "live" report on the operations of S2, Pa and B / Y.
But that is not yet, we will in the coming weeks and have to wait or S2 completely recovers and then indicate when they are released.

This week we visited the asylum keeper, and we make some pictures and a video of the environment where S2 now resides. We publish these photos and then the video on this website. Since S2 is now stable and quiet to recover from her injuries, we will not be every 2 to 3 days post a message. Once a week we will post you have S2 or when appropriate for a further interim report on this site.

  I pray that she continues to recover peacefully. Thanks for the update.

She's in a good place, getting the best of care.  Be well S2.

UPDATE on S2

Gemert, Tuesday, August 9 2011


The female Peregrine Falcon S2 is using both wings again.
Of course the external fixation on the injured wing is somewhat in the way but the owner of the shelter observed S2 using both wings regularly and seemingly without much problems.
This also is proof that the fixation is doing it's job and she probably is not feeling any pain from the broken bones any more.
Moving her wings is good for the muscles although it's not enough to get them back to full strength.
That will have to be done later with intense training but for now she is hugely improving!
