Upon entry, bird was BAR, standing on ground. Refused to fly, just backed away from me. When tossed, flew to ground. Decided to do a quick rad under light anesthesia (crop was a bit full) and found no significant findings. Tail looks good. Released with RMB.

Mature RSHA jammed in a crepe myrtle tree. On admission, bird was feisty and footy. Very large RSHA. NSF on PE. ME believes bird can preen retrices back to good condition. I don't expect her to be here long. Gave fluids and moved to R3. Dropped 29 g mouse.
