Scott Diehl from the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center gave us
an update. He says Herbert is on cage rest so he doesn’t flap around, which
could cause the elbow to dislocate again. He’s had two laser-therapy
treatments’ to help the soft-tissue wound heal faster and to help reduce the
likelihood of infection.
Scott says Herbert is eating well and provided this picture
of Herbert in an exam room.
Herbert was born at the We Energies Valley Power Plant 11 years ago. Herbert was nesting at St. Joseph’s Hospital this year. Since his injury has taken him out of parenting duties, two of his chicks have been moved to the Oak Creek Power Plant. They have been adopted by the peregrine falcon’s that occupy that nest.
