[CritterMom]

Mystery Bird looks like a baby insectivore - swallow, phoebe...

[psychobird]

Okay pigeon is a mourning dove, let me look at that 3rd one again
Wren popped into my head but let me look again
Do you know what color the inside of her mouth is?

[psychobird]

Yes I think it's a wren, won't know what kind of wren till her feathers fill in more
Possibly house
Finch is a house finch I believe

[psychobird]

If you can get a video if her begging I will know for sure

The inside of the mouth is yellow. Janet (the director) thinks she's a chickadee. What do you think?

It's a loggerhead shrike.
Just sittin there in the opposite lane when I blew by, and didn't move. I did a
u turn, pulled over, snuck up behind it and threw a cloth over it. Very easy catch.
I guess it got clipped by a car, no obvious injuries, taking it to CWRC in the am if it makes it through the night.
I am really excited because I have never ever seen this species.

[SammysMom]

Oh beautiful shrike!!! Thank goodness you were paying attention...:thankyou :grouphug

[kastillo]

I'm always looking to save something when I'm on the road. :D

[psychobird]

What a beauty!! Good save!
Can't tell you how many time I do u turns to check out that
Lump of tar, shoe, bag, clump of dirt, leaf ect ect ect that I imagined looked like a bird or something! Lol

Janet and I make fun of ourselves, we are always rubberneckin'!!

We say, awww..... poor box, poor piece of rope, damn, it's a shoe... well...it never stood a chance.

[psychobird]

Right?!??! And what is the deal with people losing shoes?!????!!!
I can say I have never ever lost a shoe on the hwy
Even in my partying days!!

[kastillo]

The shrike was fine this morning and I released him in the same place I found him. He flew off fast like he knew where he was going! Success!

The rescue center I work at.

[psychobird]

Can't even guess how many fishing line and fish hook injuries I have seen
I grew up fishing, but I really hate the sport now
People are so ignorant!!

[kastillo]

Just wanted to let yall know CWRC is still going strong.... Many pelicans, some blue herons, owls, hawks, and even one bald eagle has come through the doors this winter.

Wanted to share with you the successful hawk release last fall. He had a broken femur, had a k e apparatus (sp?) put in, held almost 3 months for healing, and released, couple pics of the release here.
