Oh my gosh - I am in love with her. I feel like I want to get in my car and take a trip to see our "Pefa." Thank you for sharing. Did you see how calm she is and doesn't seem to be at all camera shy!?

SAW WHERE WCV HAS ADMITTED ANOTHER PEREGRINE FALCON. HE IS AN UNBANDED JUVIE WITH BILATERAL EYE INJURIES AND A FRACTURED WING. WAS DOWN FOR 3 DAYS IN A FIELD. DEHYDRATED AND EMANCIATED. TO DO SURGERY ON THE 3RD IF HE STABILIZES. FORTUNATE THAT THESE INJURED ANIMALS ARE OBSERVED AND BEING BROUGHT IN TO PROPER AUTHORITIES, SO THEY MAY BE CARED FOR! UPDATE: WCV DID SURGERY ON THE 3RD AND COMMENTED ON IT BEING A LONG ONE. NO UPDATES AS OF THE 8TH AM. UPDATE: FOUND DECEASED ON THE 7TH.

Such a great video!!



Watch it on YouTube and go full screen...

Write up from the blog: (I love it!!!)

    October 8, 2014

    Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 is doing very well with her training to be an education ambassador. Both Amanda and Raina continue to work with the bird every day; the Peregrine Falcon still spends time on the glove with both of her handlers, but also has started spending time in her new enclosure. The falcon appears to be relaxed with Raina and Amanda, steps up on the glove willingly when removed from her crate, and also readily flies about three or four feet to the glove from perches in her enclosure.

    During the next week, the falcon will be transitioned to spending more time in her outdoor enclosure. Amanda has noted that this is one of the best birds she’s ever worked with; working with the falcon is the highlight of her day. Raina notes, “The PEFA is a quick learner and a very engaging bird. It’s clear that she’s comfortable around her handlers, so she relaxes in our presence. She rouses, preens and even takes baths in front of us. It’s a lot of fun working with and training this falcon – it’s a new and rewarding challenge.”

Thank you Swinwk Image



Update...

October 16, 2014
Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 continues to do very well with her training. Amanda and Raina are working with the falcon daily, although the bird now spends a significant amount of time in her outdoor enclosure. She still readily flies to the glove when Amanda or Raina ask her to.

While work with the bird will continue over the next few weeks, both Amanda and Raina agree that this has been an amazingly fast training and assessment period for the falcon. With achievements made to date, it's time to declare the Peregrine Falcon as the newest official member of the Outreach Team.

The last step – choosing a name – will take place in a few weeks at the Wildlife Center’s annual gala on November 1. There, the naming rights for the Peregrine Falcon will be auctioned off in the Center’s live auction. Stay tuned for more information, including how you can place an absentee bid on this incredible honor!
