A team of intrepid Washington Latin students rescued a downed racing pigeon with the help of several teachers and students. With the help of Ms. Seid the team of young missing bird sleuths identified and contacted her owner who picked up the injured bird, which had been missing for about 10 days. The pigeon had joined a race from South Carolina to DC, a distance they can fly in about 7 hours. The pigeon was shot but will recover from her wounds.  The students were excited to see the pigeon returned to her rightful owner and to know she was in safe hands again.
