Back to flying status

Stephanie Kadletz, Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge, prepares to release a Peregrine Falcon on the secured area of Eglin reservation on Santa Rosa Island Feb.19. The falcon had been rehabilitated by the biologists from the ECWR after being shot in the wing by an arrow in November. The Peregrine Falcon is a migratory bird that most likely came from as far north as Canada. While in the Refuge's care, the bird's injuries were treated and medication applied as needed. The bird is thought to be approximately 1-year-old and is expected to make a full recovery. (U.S. Air Force photo/Mike Spaits.)
