History

7/6/2024 - Recovery journey processing well and is in the ICU rehab pen.

6/20/2024  - Today Chad found an American Kestrel in the middle of E 700 N. The bird, a juvenile was too young to fledge. Louie also rescued another Kestrel yesterday that was about the same age, about two hundred feet west of this recovery. 

This bird was narrow with a keel score of about 2. It is assumed it was also dehydrated. I transported the Kestrel to Soarin Hawk for triage.
