Kathy Rogers, founder of the Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, tells Fort Worth TV station KXAS, a band on the bird’s leg identified it as part of the Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project in Manitoba, Canada, 1,300 miles away.

Officials there say the five-year-old falcon is known as Beatrix.
Rogers says a woman found the bird on the ground in Dallas and brought it to her. The bird has no wounds but appears to have a
vision problem.
Rogers hopes the bird eventually can be released. If not, she’s planning to take the falcon home on a plane.
