We’re asking for a little help from our faithful followers.

We almost never ask for donations. We know everyone has their own bills, expenses, and causes they care about, and we do our best to make every dollar go as far as possible.

But right now… our birds of prey are hungry. Very, very hungry.

We are currently going through 60–100 mice each day to feed the raptors under our care. At roughly $1 per mouse, that adds up really quickly. Especially when you consider that these guys apparently did not get the memo about the current cost of groceries.

RodentPro.com gift certificates can be purchased specifically to help us stock up on mice for our birds of prey. Every gift certificate, no matter the amount, goes directly toward food for the animals currently depending on us.

And just look at some of the faces you're feeding!

If you've ever followed our patients, shared a post, donated, volunteered, transported an animal, or simply cheered them on from your corner of the internet, thank you. We are incredibly grateful to have such a faithful community behind us.

And if you're able to purchase a RodentPro gift certificate, you'll quite literally be putting food in the bellies of some very deserving birds.

60–100 mice a day.
Apparently, we accidentally opened a very tiny, very expensive bird restaurant.

Terminator

Meet Terminator. He’s a Great Horned Owl, presumed to be a male, who came to us last week after being found twice in the same turkey coop.

The first time, his finders found him hanging out in the coop and safely put him outside. As he walked back toward the woods, they noticed he seemed a little… "off".

And apparently, Terminator had one thing to say:

“I’ll be back.”

Because the next morning… he was.

Same coop. Same owl. Except this time, his finders locked him in there so we could come get him.

At some point during his adventure, Terminator had managed to kill seven baby turkeys and enjoy himself a little feast.

To be fair, this is just a Great Horned Owl being a Great Horned Owl. A coop full of baby turkeys is basically a predator's version of an all-you-can-eat buffet.

And despite the unfortunate loss of their turkeys, his finders have been incredibly understanding and chill about the whole situation. So chill, in fact, that they’ve asked us to release Terminator right back on their property when he’s finished rehabbing.

We really appreciate finders who are willing to coexist with wildlife. We’re all just trying to share the same space, and sometimes that means figuring out how to live alongside our wild neighbors.

For now, Terminator is hanging out with us until we can make sure he’s healthy and ready to get back to doing owl things.

And when he’s finally ready to go…

He’ll be back.

(Hopefully not to see the turkeys 😉)

Earl

Earl came to us last week. The skinniest chipmunk we have ever seen - still alive. Orphaned and alone until his finders brought him to us. Ugggg.. the little ribcage!

Re-feeding syndrome is real, so as much as we wanted to pump calories into this tiny dude, we had to take our time. Lots of fluids and electrolytes on board, first. Only then could we begin to move him over to formula slowly over the course of 48 hours.

Gradually, as his energy increased and he found his old-self, we realized he's a bitey, aggressive little jerk! Thats okay... We love him anyway ❤️❤️.

We're all set! She doesnt need the procedure anymore! Wooohoooo!  Thank you all for your offers.We appreciate you ❤️

Jerry

Jerry was released yesterday!

We brought him back near the spot where he was originally found, giving him the best chance to find his people, get his bearings, and get back to doing whatever broad-winged hawks do best.

He took his sweet time with the whole “leave the rehab and return to the wild” thing, but eventually decided the treetops looked pretty good and off he went.

Now he has a little time to settle back in before he begins his long migration south next month. Safe travels, Jerry! We’ll miss you!

Okay... due to scheduling issues, we're still looking for someone. Transport would be this Thursday. It would be a drop-off in Ithaca, wait for the procedure and return with the fawn. In other words... allll day! The crate is 39L, 27W, 31H. Please let us know if youre interested helping us out.

Hello faithful followers ❤️!

We are currently in need of a transport for a fawn to Cornell Wildlife Hospital in Ithaca. It is not a medical emergency, but it should probably happen early next week. If anyone feels like they may have the time and energy to make the drive, please let us know. You will need a car/suv with space for an extra large crate. We'll pay for gas and... drumroll please... you'll get an LRC t-shirt! I know, right?!

Minerva

Meet Minerva, a juvenile Barred Owl who has apparently had the worst week ever.

He came to us a day or two ago after being found lying face-down on the ground, barely moving, with human trash stuck to him, extremely skinny, and unable to stand. Judging by his expression, he had completely checked out of the week. And honestly… we can't really blame him.

Since arriving, Minerva has been getting lots of fluids, vitamins, and, much to his personal outrage, force-fed meals. Because apparently when you're starving and too weak to stand, the appropriate response is still to be offended that someone is trying to feed you.

But today, something pretty amazing happened… MINERVA STOOD UP.

Was it graceful? Absolutely not.
Was he impressed with himself? Jury's still out.
Did we celebrate like he had just won an Olympic gold medal? You bet we did.

It's a small step, but for a little owl who couldn't even hold his head up a few days ago, it's a BIG one.

Keep fighting, Minerva. We promise the force-feeding is for your own good… even if you would like to formally file a complaint with management.

One tiny step at a time.

HD

This is HD. And yes, the name is short for Häagen-Dazs.

A few weeks ago, HD came to us after someone found him lethargic and very skinny in the middle of their kitchen floor.

He was definitely not doing well when he arrived, but after a few weeks of good food and care, HD is back to fighting weight and looking like a proper mouse again!

He’s all healed up and just waiting for the word that it’s time to go home.

Hopefully his next adventure involves a quiet field, plenty of places to hide, and absolutely zero kitchens.

(Do you see him in the first picture?)
