Fox with mange trapped on my street. Oct 2013

 Adult fox was seen on street by quite a few people including my husband.  With Toronto Wildlife Centre we set up two traps to catch this poor fox.

Within 10 days we had him.  He is now in the wonderful care of TWC for treatment. 

Mange is treatable.  As you can see his eyes are closed and ears and legs in very poor shape.  With treatment he will look amazing in a couple of months.

Peregrine Falcon - Kendal from Harlequin Building delivered to Owl Foundation. October 2013

 Kendal arrives at the Owl Foundation.  Stacy gives him a check up prior to being put in a flight cage.

 A few months ago Kendal was injured during a horrible storm that hit Toronto area.  He hit a building.  Under the care of Toronto Wildlife Centre that he should be sent to The Owl Foundation.  They have  amazing flight cages and be under the watchful care of Stacy and Annick. 

Hopefully he will recover in order to be set free again. 

 Donna and Stacy taking Kendal to flight cage.  Kendal's nest is across from the Harlequin building.  Donna was the first person to report to Canadian Peregrine Foundation that they had a peregrine nesting on the ledge across from her office.  Kendal mate is Quest from Rochester. 

 New flight cage.  Kendal flew from the entrance to the far end and landed on the upper most ledge.  Not bad for first flight.
