Merlin Surgery-Summer 2008

(Click images below to view full size)

Following pictures are of a surgery preformed on a young Merlin.  The bird sustained a broken tibia and fibula on its left leg.  Surgery involved putting a pin in the bird's leg.

Please note that some pictures are of the surgery itself and some viewers may find it disturbing.
