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.

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