Lost RT Tampa, Florida Area

[OnlyRTS]

Lost my male passage RT on his first free flight (1-2-10) about 1/2 mile north and west of I-275 in Lutz, Florida. Has leather jesses and anklets with bells. Telemetry was found under the tree in which he roosted last night. Caught sight of him twice on 1-3-10 but no response to lure or glove.

Call 813-909-7370 if sighted.

Did you post this everywhere? Raptors Nest, Florida clubs' sites, NAFA lost birds, etc?

You might also post pictures and notices near where you lost the bird.

Sure hope you find him quick and catch him!

Let the FLorida WIldlife Rehabbers know too. I'm friends with several of them, and they do cooperate with falconers. www.fwra.org. I've given seminars to the annual meeting on raptor care.

If you see him again, don't bother trying to call him to the glove or the lure. Just set out a loaded BC and walk away and watch from out of site.

Good luck,
