The other night we got a call from the NHPD about a fox that had his foot stuck in a wooden bridge. It was 8 pm so dark by the time we got there. The police and the Yahnundasis had two golf carts ready for us to go out and check out the fox. Turns out the leg was not stuck but rather the animal had mange and had not been able to hunt for that reason. It was extremely dehydrated and emaciated. Sadly the fox did not survive the night.

Our little robin friend makes the rounds in here every day. Today was Bella’s day. She eats flies out of the windows and sits in front of a blue light that attracts insects. Also today she found the plastic container that Vinnie keeps his tie wraps in and proceeded to throw them on the floor.

These are a few of our intakes in the last couple days. A young seagull that was starving, a rabbit with a broken leg and a snapping turtle hit by a car with a fractured jaw.

This young Osprey fell out of the nest from the top of this communication tower. Once they fall out the parents do not continue to care for them. He was starving and had injuries that could not be fixed. He was sent to Cornell Wildlife Hospital where this was the prognosis.

Just a heads up to everyone that Spectrum News is running a story tomorrow on the barred owl release at Mt. Hope Reservoir. I added a picture of the fishing lure that was stuck in his wing. The turtle that we posted with the broken jaw was healed and also released.

This mallard was sent to Cornell Wildlife Hospital and treated for muscle and tissue damage. She was then returned to us and has since been returned to our pond.
