We have been busy with Red tailed Hawk lately. The majority of the ones we have seen have been young birds that are emaciated. Unfortunately many rescuers think they should feed the birds they rescue . We remind people that if you are admitted to the ER you do not get a full course meal before a diagnosis. If a bird is emaciated and fed normal food it can kill it - so please no food. The picture below of the one in the tree and on the powerline were after release. None of our actual release videos have turned out at this point.

We have had a parrot come in that was someone’s pet at one time. It is stable and being quarantined. We don’t know how long it has been in the wild, if it escaped or was dumped. Whatever the case it is scared and doesn’t like human attention currently. If you know of anyone that lost a bird in northern Michigan please have them contact us with the species, color variation and identifying features.

If anyone is looking for a messy adventure, we have a report of a Turkey Vulture that is unable to fly. It is in Cheboygan on 27 a quarter mile south of Polish line road. Capturing and containing a Turkey Vulture can be tricky so if you’re interested please give us a call.

The season is beginning to change and with it comes hawk and heron season. This is when we usually see young birds that are having difficulty learning to hunt on their own. We currently have an adult red tail that something tore out his primary feathers. We have a young red tail that came in unable to stand and starving but is now back to eating clean meat. We also have a young green heron that was having difficulty and caught by a cat. With migration our hummingbirds are buzzing all over fighting for food.

Today our young Osprey returned to his nest site for release. In true obstinate bird fashion he flew toward town instead of the nice open natural area where we wanted him to go. As always, it is his release and he’s in charge. Happily he is flying free.

** This is currently being worked on and if we have further updates, we will let you know.

We have a report of a loon on Lake Charlevoix in the East Jordan area that is having difficulty and repeatedly becoming grounded. We are looking for someone who would be comfortable boxing it up and either getting to us or making arrangements so that it could be transported. Also, if you’re aware of a lake organization that would be able to assist we do not have that information. If you’re able to help in anyway, please call or message.
