Re: [cobirds] GHO, Injured or Ill

Please contact Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance since they rehab raptors and are the closest location to you. 

(sidenote- something I've done when needing a rehab expert for advice after hours is call an organization in a later time zone. I found them through animalhelpnow.com ) 

Thank you,

Courtney

Hello Birders. I attempted to rescue a GHO who spent the night on my neighbor's front walkway, face-down, with one wing outstretched. I understand two individuals were able to walk past the bird early this morning, (teenagers) and the bird remained in the spot. However, when I went to capture it, with a blanket in tow, it flew off as I got about 15 feet away. I was surprised given the above

. Anyway, I saw where it landed, again on the ground, and I plan to try again after sunset. I realize this is a read the tea leaves sort of ask, but does anyone think I'll have better luck late at night, as opposed to sundown?
