This little Merlin is being examined after I found him unable to fly in what I suppose was a collision with a plate glass window. They took good care of him and after he lost his baby feathers, he was released back to his parents.

I found this little fellow unable to fly after what we suppose was an unfortunate encounter with a plate glass window. I boxed him up and we found a raptor rehabilitation center. He had a concussion so they put him in a hyperbaric chamber then kept him until his baby feathers were gone. The sign of a concussion is how wide his irises are even with a bright light shining on them. Look carefully and you will see.
