wildlife rehab report
the pre-spring lull goes on. we have around 30 animals total right now; at some point in the spring we'll probably have *more than* 30 baby squirrels that need regular feedings, just for one example. so this is definitely the time of year to get other stuff done while we can!
I did meds & tubings assistance , which meant catching and holding three birds (a thrush, [though I don't remember what kind] a rock pigeon, and a crow) while they got meds and food.

since there were only the three birds in the ward, I went on to clean the ward, do a bunch of dishes, clean up some lamps that are going back to the org we borrowed them from, clean the footbaths, and then get started on cleaning out the deer pen. that's going to be a *huge* job which we'll probably be working on for the next month. XD
the bald eagle is doing well, his broken bone is healing, yay! and there was an opossum brought in last week that's already been released!

we also have a new saw-whet owl, which is staff only as it's not in great shape and yet EXTREMELY FIGHTY. saw-whet owls are tiny (about the size of an American robin) and the rehabber said they basically look like Beanie Baby owls with HUGE BIG EYES and it's pretty much true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_saw-whet_owl
and that's about it for this week's report! :)
