The peregrine was taken to the Southwest Avian Protection Services and examined by a veterinarian.
The right wing was completely shattered and the falcon had to be euthanized.
It must have been hunting near the highway and hit by a vehicle.
Totally sad.

Very sad and tragic, but you helped significantly so he wasn't suffering anymore. Thank you for the update!

That's an amazing shot of the moth

Lots of mountain goat photos here already, but here's another I took in the North Cascades

Thanks, it was fun chasing the moth around to try and get some sort of composition.
