Hawkeye Update .... I contacted a local Avian Research Facility this morning, and everything I did was wrong. When it comes to birds, if they're nor injured, no one can help them but their parents. Regardless of how well meaning you are, it's decidedly detrimental to remove them from where you found them, so I immediately took him back to the exact same spot. They suggested I monitor the site, but no more than that. I certainly had no idea, just how critical, moving them can be. They made an excellent case for it, and have been handling birds for over 30 years. So, anyone else out there, that thinks they're doing them a favour, be aware that you're depriving them of their basic education for survival. Here endeth the lesson for today. Glad you enjoyed the pictures. I'll continue to check on him, from a distance, but from what I saw this morning, he'll be flying soon, with better tutors.
