Peregrine Falcon, hoping for the best
On the raptor side in the month of June we received a peregrine falcon with the end of its wing amputated, probably by a barbed wire fence. It is feeding well and the injury is healing. The falcon will never be able to fly. If everything heals up well with no infection we will try to place this falcon in a wildlife educational program.
This Peregrine Falcon is an adult male and was found in the Panguitch, Utah area. It is missing part of its wing and was brought to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation for care by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Sunday June 17, 2018.
Hoping for the Best.
