Spring 2023 Updates

With baby season being in full swing we wanted to share these wonderfully made diagrams created by the NWRA for everyone to have on hand if they come across a baby bird or mammal.

This is the general guideline of questions we would ask if you were to call us on how to best help these young and vulnerable creatures so please keep them in your back pocket as a quick reference! As always, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns, we are always happy to assist the best that we can.

As we enter Spring (finally!) we wanted to give you a peak into one of our winter patients.

We admitted a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk in mid-February with a wing fracture. Radiographs and vet consultations led us to pursue conservative therapy. After over a month of bandaging, range of motion therapy, and supportive care, we are on track for a successful release.

The following photos show x-rays taken every two weeks as well as the patient.
