Salt Lake City peregrine cam

Poor little guy must have sustained an injury they didn't find in one of his earlier mishaps.

Posted on FB-

Solo will be staying overnight with Joann for observation and x-rays. He appears to have an injured wing. We'll update on his status as soon as we get more information.

Update-

We also suspect Solo has impact injuries to his legs/feet. X-rays are scheduled for Friday and he will be with Joann until then and possibly beyond. The previous post about a wing injury is not certain. The x-rays will shed more light on what's going on.

Thanks for the update Kris.

We have some bad news to report.  :' (On July 13, 2013, Solo, the only young-of-the-year peregrine falcon to hatch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (JSMB) this year, died from injuries sustained on July 3. The injuries were a result of a high-speed impact into the north face of the Zion’s Bank Tower located due south of the JSMB. Following his injury and rescue, Solo was transported to a Salt Lake City rehabilitation facility where supportive therapies were started under the care of Jo Stoddard. X-rays were taken on July 5. While no fractures were evidenced, Solo suffered soft tissue, nerve and spinal cord injuries. These injuries resulted in flaccid paralysis of both legs, incontinence and head trauma. While some slight improvement in the paralysis was detected over the 10-day holding period, other systems began to shut down. He was found dead midday on Saturday.

Oh, another sad tale for the 2013 babies!  So sorry for the folks who follow this nest.

This is heartbreaking news.  He tried so hard but it seemed like he was rescued just too many times. Fly free, young Solo.

Soooo sad! Poor wee thing.

Oh no, poor baby! He had it rough there for a while. So many rescues!    Fly Free little Solo!

[MAK]

  His short life meant something if only to remind us that some things just are not meant to be. There will be no crashes or pain where you are now Solo!

Hi there. We don't have any major updates, we just wanted to break the silence and calm any nerves concerning dad peregrine. He's doing just fine. His injury will prevent him from returning to the wild, unfortunately. He's still with the rehabilitator and we are in the process of selecting a permanent institution in which he will become an education bird!
