We are getting alot of calls about adult birds dying due to convulsions or sudden death. This says phoebes nest has a dead parent in it. Most likely from pesticide poisoning. Both parents and 2 babies died. If you neighbors or town or county is sprayed this toxic s**t tell them to STOP. Hundreds of thousands of birds are affected by pesticide poisoning. Just don’t do it please. Speak up for the birds.

It is likely that you will be the only one to stop and help an animal. Keep a rescue kit in the car, cat carrier, gloves, a leash, dog cookies, a butterfly net, a towel and a small aerated box for small birds.

This baby Mountain Bluebird had to be euthanized. He was brought to his owner by their house cat left to roam. This is the third bird from the same cat in a year. And those were only the ones found. How disrespectful and rude! Please keep cats indoors.

Two of our littlest patients. Came in naked, at a few grams each and now we think they are growing in to be Pygmy Nuthatches. What do you think? They eat a lot of bugs every 20 minutes sun up to sun down.

Two of our currents patients. A Spotted Towhee and a Horned Lark. Today I introduced live crickets and the horned lark hunted one and ate it!! The towhee is not impressed with the crickets . There’s always tomorrow.

What would you do in this situation… a neighbor lets his dog roam free in the neighbor hood.

He pees and poops wherever he likes, sometimes in your yard or garden or your kids sandbox. He kills birds at bird feeders, squirrels and other wildlife. He starts fight with other dogs that are on their own property. The owners don’t care where he goes. The bring him in at night but every day he is out there on other peoples property causing damage. What would you do?
