Today the baby was laying prone in the grass with wings out and he was covered with flies. I advised Ashtyn to pick up and put in box, I picked up this afternoon.
#⚠️-attention As I was wrapping up, the weather turned from humid and still to dark and windy so I skedaddled! Everyone’s notes are updated in the charts, but I didn’t add the notes to the notebook.
Call last night about turtle in Davenport. Left VM with numbers for two rehabbers in Clinton County.
Baby bunnies in IC. Referred to Suzanne.
Baby birds in CR. Referred to Dr. Jana.
Andy with On the Run Pet Rescue was contacted by residents about BAEA seen on the ground for a few days (able to run but not fly). He captured and transported to clinic. Put in cage on a perch (able to perch). Will need full exam tomorrow.
Scott County Conservation called about eagle above to confirm we got it. Left VM confirming we did.
Wood duck found at construction site in IC. Referred to Dr Jana.
Julie in IC found hawk on the corner of Court St and Westminster St next to another dead hawk. Based on picture it’s a fledgling COHA. She and I both went back to the area to find it and did not see it anymore.
Kiara in Davenport found a baby squirrel after a storm. Referred to two rehabbers in Clinton County.
Jill in Guthrie Center has owl in a ditch at her house (it was hard to tell from the VM but I think she said a tree was cut down?) and she did not feel comfortable capturing it. Left her a VM with the number for SOAR since they're about 30min away.
Becca in Fairfield called about a BDOW that she and a friend found a couple days ago with a wing injury. They tried to take it to a center at Oakland Mills but they don’t do rehab. The BDOW was with her friend in Mt Pleasant, so Kathy went to get the bird today and will bring to clinic tomorrow (thank you, Kathy!!).
