WINORR Rescues

[Bird Crazy]

Very sad. 

yes sad but if things are so frozen the poor fox maybe having trouble finding enough food too. So I don't blame it.

Donna, how very sad!  Thank you for doing what you could to save the duck and the goose.   

I wish it was me Patsy, this is from their site.

And Kris would know from all the sparrows that have nested in her blue bird boxes!

merlin rescued from the dinner menu of a peregrine at sea: We picked up this adult male merlin last night from our friend Dennis who was on this trip yesterday and also noticed the commotion going on in the water a mile off the Atlantic Ocean . Seems the juvenile peregrine had hold of the smaller merlin and released it when it managed to fly out of the water . The merlin seemed soaked and couldn't manage to escape and was netted to safety. It has some injuries from being grabbed by the much larger stronger falcon including blood in its eye, a puncture wound on top of his head and torn flesh on its back above its tail from where it was held . Its a miracle its alive and after a shocky night was more alert and active today. It's still not out of the woods yet and has a long road to recovery but certainly would've eventually drowned if not plucked out of the cold choppy waters as it was pretty windy and chilly on the water .Thanks to all involved who cared enough and extended themselves to give this little fighter a chance .


the top of his head has a puncture hole where the peregrine sunk her beak into his scalp
having some quail meat for breakfast. you can see on his upper mandible the talon puncture from the peregrine attack. [right where the feathers start]

I did not get to see any whales or dolphins yesterday. I did, however, get to experience American Princess Cruises' first animal rescue at sea. The small sharp skinned hawk was rescued from the larger falcon. Kuddos to the crew on a job well done!


Wow see the Falcon?

  Those action shots are something! And what a lucky merlin to survive that attack!

I agree Donna-the left foot on that hawk had no talons.

WINORR's response on FB to person's question are the talons missing-

WINORR- Wildlife In Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation Yes all the talons are there on both feet. Maybe it appears they arent but it is knuckling on the bad foot until it improves.
