I forgot to update the listservs. Here is the reply from the Raptor Center:

>>Bill,

>>The peregrine falcon recovered in Rochester was admitted to The 
>>Raptor Center on 7/5/06 with spinal trauma and respiratory 
>>problems. Upon admission, the bird had very minimal use of both 
>>legs and lower body as well as respiratory difficulties. His 
>>condition worsened over the next two days and our veterinarians 
>>felt it was necessary to humanely euthanize him.
