We hope. This guy showed up on Easter with a huge wound from another bird. We were unable to reach any animal rescue people, game wardens, etc. on Easter so elected to catch this fellow and try to find him help if he made it to today. He was pretty sliced up by another larger bird in the area. I hope to hear later if he made it.

Buzzards got to eat too

^ Buzzards gotta eat same as worms.

good job............gotta show ladynite

she's been workin with raptor rehab in Louisville for years now.........brings all kinda raptors home in transit for rescue.......

I'm skeered of them................but she feeds um and bandages them and takes um in...........they got the law on their side

Update.

Monday morning the animal rescue people arrived along with a fish and wildlife officer. The bird was still hanging in there, was taken to a "bird hospital" of some sort, and as of today is doing fine and will recover.

What I thought was a wound from another bird actually turned out to be a gunshot wound. The animal officer told us that three other Ospreys were all either killed or wounded over the Easter weekend. One, shot with an arrow, is dead. The other two will recover. It turns out that not to far away at a local pay-to-fish pond the birds were helping themselves to some very tasty trout. From what the animal officer told us the pond owner is currently being investigated, probably charged by now, with the shootings.
