Linda Grounds Out in Panama

I received a telephone call from Panama on Wednesday night informing me that Linda had been seen "falling out of the sky" and onto a road in front of a tavern in the town of Pedasi on the Aguero Peninsula of Panama.

She was alive and had been taken to a large animal veterinarian who was keeping her quiet and feeding her. The reports on the cause(s) of her coming to ground were inconclusive.

I contacted Guido Berguido, one of our new friends in Panama (he is the owner of Advantage Tours Panama, a famous bird tour company, www.advantagepanama.com), and let him know about the falcon. She is currently located about 5 hours north of Panama City and Guido will get her as soon as possible. We hope to place her into the hands of a falcon specialist, and assess what has happened to her.

Obviously, this ends her migration for the season but her future remains to be seen. We are all hoping that she will make it through the next few days.

And a special thanks to Guido and the other people who took her in. There are alot of people out there that very much appreciate what you are doing for Linda.
