UPDATE….he was found. He’s safe and sound.
Missing, we need your help.
On Sunday, November 2nd, at around 2:30 pm, our ambassador Aplomado Falcon flew off and we have not located him. We believe he is in the immediate area surrounding Springbrook Nature Center in Itasca, but there is a chance he may have flown further than that. He is a small falcon, larger than a robin, with an orange chest and belly and a gray head, wings, and back. He has a loud "kee" sounding call. He is wearing all his equipment, so he may be trailing a long white leash. He is a captive-bred non-native bird, and not able to hunt on his own, so it is important that he returns back to us.
If you see him, please call or text Beth at 312-583-7324 or call the Itasca Police non-emergency # 630-773-1004.
