American Kestrel Gets an X-Ray
American Kestrel Gets an X-Ray YouTube video by Museum of Science

Why does our American kestrel need a wing X-ray? 🐦‍⬛🩻🧪

Clarence has a wing injury from early in life that left him unable to fly, so he lives under human care at our Live Animal Care Center.

Five birds stand on a barnacle-covered rock next to the ocean. Four of them are facing the camera as they begin to run away from an inbound wave crashing against the rock. The fifth, a female, I believe, stands still facing to the left at the edge of the rock where the wave is breaking. Tiny droplets of water fly into the air behind the birds.
