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.
