Eyas return to Omaha

As has been reported elsewhere, a Peregrine Falcon eyas at the WoodmenLife Tower made a premature leap from it’s nest box in downtown Omaha late last week. The youngster was quickly recovered by Denise Lewis with Fontenelle Forest’s Raptor Recovery (FFRR). After a check-up, the eyas was returned to its nest box in Omaha by NGPC Conservation Officer and Raptor Recovery volunteer Dina Barta. Below are a few photos Dina took during the return trip to Omaha.

That little falcon looks too young to fledge. I guess he fail, but twice? Poor little baby. :egg15:

He is too young for sure, that's a long fall without full feathers.

I thought this had been posted already.
FB report
Hunter was thoroughly evaluated. Unfortunately he has permanent vision changes in his left eye. These changes will make it extremely difficult for his survival. He will not be releasable. We will work with USFWS permitted organizations to place him as an education or display bird.
He may not be able to go back to the wild, but he will be able to make a difference by helping to educate the public about the importance of birds of prey like himself.

I bit of Trivia...Charlotte (2015 hatch) is still at Fontenelle, now home for Hunter...Charlotte also had vision problems which made her un releasable. I wonder how common ( or uncommon) vision issues are in raptors. Charlotte had a short role in their latest video..she's gorgeous..
