This is a non-releasable captive bird with a heartbreaking story:  wildlife 
biologists had been observing the nest where he hatched, and as they watched 
he made his first flight - and crashed into the biologists' car, permanently 
injuring his right wing.  This bird is now 9 years old.

R8/DMR, 280 APO
