wildlife rehabilitation volunteering report, mostly dull
I personally didn't interact with any wildlife, except while raking the leaves around the outdoor pools and badly startling a duck (some kind of sea-duck, I can't remember what kind--I don't think it's a scaup but that's the only thing that comes to mind). oh! and I spotted a red-breasted sapsucker on the walk down, which are uncommon, and also identified that weird squeaky-toy call they make!

we still have Smallest Bear, who is still being evaluated. another MRI showed what seemed to be unusually smooth brain lobes, but the vet who did the scan isn't familiar with bear MRI scans, so now there's more networking going on to figure out if it's unusual or what. the other cubs are hibernating successfully. aside from the bears, bobcat kittens, and a few raccoons, all we have now are birds.

most of the birds are being released almost right away--they just need some downtime, evaluation, and feeding up. some have more extensive problems, but most of those are treatable, though they require longer stays--we have I think five barred owls, two great horned owls, and a barn owl right now, along with seagulls, pigeons, crows, robins, and others.
