Andrea found Frito in an open stairwell, hiding from the grackles that were stalking him like a pack of velociraptors.
She called us and watched over him until we arrived, saving him from a tragic end.
He was not injured, just a little disoriented and is eating and flying well in the aviary.
Soon to be released. Nice work Andrea!
This pup (D-Day) found himself on the wrong side of Congress Avenue Bridge on June 6th. Dianne, on her rebirth day, was called by a worried tourist and went down and belly crawled under the railing to rescue him. He probably crawled out of his crevice looking for a mum that got picked off by a predator. He was born a little early (average date of birth for free-tails is June 10th and he was likely born in late May) but lots of pups were 2-3 weeks early this year. We’ll do our best for this little guy and hopefully release him back at the bridge once he’s graduated from ABR Flight School!
