On Saturday, before heading out to a wedding in Camarillo, Isaac and I found an American Kestrel with a busted wing! What an amazingly beautiful falcon. So elegant. We named him Mordecai (after Richie’s falcon in The Royal Tenenbaums) and were able to keep and feed him over the holiday weekend. He regained much of his strength. We gave him to the Orange County Wildlife Foundation in Westminster yesterday, however, Isaac and I were so disappointed to find out that we probably won’t be able to know if his wing is fixable due to a confidentiality clause for rescued wildlife. We only hope Mordecai is able to fly free again…..
