Bald Eagle calls are always exciting! This adult needed an x-ray so Tessa gloved up. Eagles are large and dangerous so we often transfer them to Cascades Raptor in Eugene because they have a full staff. We really appreciate their willingness to help us.

This time of year, we get calls on fledgling songbirds. We advise leaving then with their parents. But this Robin, Brewer’s Blackbird and Scrub Jay were caught by cats and needed to come in for an immediate course of antibiotics. Luckily their finders got them to us quickly and the injuries weren’t too bad. They all grew up and were released.

These 2 baby ravens were orphaned when a very large tree was cut down. Thankfully the nest was discovered and they were not injured in any way. Ravens often build their nests very high up to protect eggs and chicks from predators.

Ravens are known for their remarkable cognitive abilities, which often place them among the most intelligent birds. Their intelligence is comparable to that of great apes and young children

They are known for their advanced cognitive abilities, including tool use, forward planning, social learning, and have an excellent memory. They can solve multi-step problems and recognize human faces.

When we get a rescue call, we ask for a photo to help ID the animal. It helps if there is something to show the size. The Western Tanager had hit a window and felt safe tucked into a towel. It was released after a few days. The Northern Flicker, which also hit a window, was already recovered and ready to go.

We had two separate calls on snakes in trouble. The first was a gopher snake stuck trying to go down a drain because it had recently eaten a large meal. The second was a kingsnake tangled in netting. Our resourceful critter carrier, Greg, was able to help both on their way.
