Field Notes

Notes:

On one of our windiest days, I saw this Kestrel being blown across our yard. After alot of slow movement, I was able to catch him in my jacket. I took him to WildCare Oklahoma, a wonderful wildlife rehabilitation facility in our state. It had a broken wing, but they got him splinted & think he will make a recovery.

Yesterday WildCare let me know that the Kestrel had surgery to close up the wound. He is still being handfed, but they said that is expected at this point. Sounds like there is lots of hope for this little guy!
