Bird was reported yesterday by an Alabama kayaker Will Wiggins (he actually had the bird Wednesday). It was relocated this morning by Victor Stoll, Ruben Stoll, Alan Troyer, and Phil Friesen. The bird was very weak so we decided to capture it. Alan threw his shirt on it and carried it by kayak 8.5 miles down the river where Ruben picked us up in his truck. Ruben & Victor then carried the bird to Walden’s Puddle wildlife rehab in Joelton, TN. This is the first Tennessee record for Snail Kite! Hopefully the bird recovers and can be released back into the wild.
