A huge thank you to Bill acting so quickly in seeking out help for Kendal and for sending us his story and photos.
Bill Writes:
There was a bird outside my front door the morning after the storm. There are downed trees less than a kilometer from here. It must have been injured and was sheltered in front of my garden. When I came out of the house, the door noise startled it and it jumped about 3 meters toward the road. I phoned 311. They gave the number for TWC who dispatched a guy to cage the bird. It was then taken to TWC. The one thing mentioned was that the leg band looked like one of the “Duncan Mill Road Peregrines”.
As I looked around for clues as to what happened, I found a small tuft of feathers (no flesh) and there was no sign of other feathers or fur. There was no mess on my window either. The left wing seemed injured (but I know that can be a fake). It’s eyes were wide opened and facing me when I approached. At first, it didn’t move though I got quite close as I offered it some fresh meat. It didn’t move toward or away from my offering (Sorry! I learned that feeding is contra-indicated). Later it moved a little seemingly to face the road where there was very light traffic. When captured by TWC it struggled a bit but was quickly soothed and caged and covered.
