Chaukar the Lagger Falcon

Chaukar is a Lagger Falcon and is native to East India and as such is not releasable. He escaped his first owner, a falconer, with his leash still attached to him. When he landed in a tree the leash wrapped around a branch and held him captive long enough that he was severely dehydrated and emaciated when he arrived at Salthaven needing help. It was touch and go for awhile but he pulled through and after training now wears the title of Salthaven Wildlife Ambassador.
