It is blind in one eye due to a growth on that side. It is also sort of hunch backed, and not a happy camper, although when it saw me close with its good eye it flew off OK. I think that I could capture it by throwing a towel over it, if I get another chance on its blind side. QUESTION: Should I try to catch it? Should I keep it alive and give it to someone? Should I kill it and discard, or kill it and preserve it for testing? Kendric -- Kendric C.
