I found out the osprey was rescued by a woman walkiing her dog.  Thanks that she responded and got it help.  I don't know where it was taken but a nearby has a highly recognized animal clinic and college as part of the university there.  They work well with large birds.  There is also a raptor rehabilitation center near here with many successes.  Unfortunately, too many large heavy birds will not fly again.  We will wait and see.   From the loaction, this could have been a drive by sort of shooting. Who knows but the jerk or jerkess who did it.

There is a walking trail in the area an I suspect that is near where the bird was found.  And, in the river are many crew rowers, practicing for spring events. They come from all over the country.   Miss the bird and perhaps send the bullet to rowers or who knows?  Totally irresponsible..and yes, sickening.

I will at least be able to keep some track of the progress the wounded Osprey is making and will be able to view the huge nest to see if chick might somehow make it.

All comments are appreciated.     Thanks.       Tom.A
