Hi Everyone,
We are just entering our busiest month and so far this is the most active year so far. Our first baby wild animal showed in April and was a baby fox ( later joined by 6 others). Since that time we have admitted many more and the phone calls get busier everyday. Will give more details later but so far in house we have the following species: Northern Saw Whet Owl, Barred Owl, American Crow, Rock Pigeon, Northern Flying Squirrel, Eastern Chipmunk, Red Fox, Mallard Duck, Long-Tailed Weasel and a Mourning Dove. Never a dull moment.
This week we also received a bald eagle that I'm pretty sure was poisoned. Luckily we had the antidote on hand and she was the quickest release ever. She was only here for 5 days and was then released back into her territory in Cumberland County.
We have our 2nd Annual Wildlife Benefit Concert and Silent Auction happening on June 19 at Kegger's Alehouse in Truro. It was a great time last year, please come and bring a friend. More info can be found at:
We have a summer intern from the NSAC Veterinary Technology Program ( welcome Matt) and our summer student starts tomorrow ( welcome back Kathleen). It's great to have the help as this place has gotten way too busy for me to handle on my own!
Stay tuned and I hope to keep up with this blog. Feel free to comment.
Till next time
Helene
