[birdky] Louisville falcons

Hello all:
On Tues., Eileen Wicker of Raptor Rehab. of KY, Inc. called and said they
picked up one of the adult falcons from below the Big Four Bridge in
Louisville.  We are not sure yet what is wrong with the bird but it is not
presently releasable.  Our other falcon nests in the state have chicks right
now and I'm concerned for the young (if any) that this bird may have.
Therefore, I'm asking for your help.  I have not been able to locate a nest
site at the bridge this year and have been unsuccessful at finding the pair.
I'm assuming that if this injured falcon is in fact one of the Louisville
pair, that the other adult should be present and possibly feeding young.  If
anyone lives in the area or is birding in the Louisville area, please take a
look at the Big Four Bridge and JFK Bridge area and see if you see another
adult/young/etc.  Any observations would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
