SUBMISSION: FALL FROM THE TOWER BY JOY YAGID

Fall from the Tower photograph by Joy Yagid and printed on metal. This Peregrine falcon fell off the one of the towers of the George Washington Bridge as a fledgling and landed on the walkway. It's nest mates landed on the roadway and didn't make it. It was brought to the Raptor Trust and received medical attention. But due to an eye injury, is unreleasable.This collection of raptors show the effect of man and man's environment on the environment of raptors. These birds, permanent residents of The Raptor Trust, are all unreleasable due to injury or human imprintment. They live out their lives to educate people on the beauty, grace and how they are a an irreplaceable part of the natural order of all living things.
