n_lam22's Identifications

This bird was found under a tree, unable to fly, in Balboa Park, near the intersection of Park Blvd and Zoo Drive and was getting dive-bombed by crows and soaked by the sprinkler. As I work at the San Diego Zoo, I called our Bird department for assistance. A bird keeper responded and we quickly and safely caught the bird. There were no obvious signs of injury and the bird was extremely feisty and non-lethargic. It was taken to Project Wildlife for further evaluation.
