Good Samaritan Rescues Young Falcon From Waters Underneath Bay Bridge

It s been, quite literally, a wild past week or so in the Bay Area. A large black bear was found up a tree in Marin County one of only three bears to be seen in the county since 2003; a two-year-old mountain lion was found roaming around Bernal Heights before eventually being tranquilized and released elsewhere; another dead whale washed up in the region, this time at Pacifica State Beach. And Friday, a baby falcon was rescued from Bay Area waters by a good samaritan.
