Posted: 01 Jun 2016 11:25 AM PDT Hello, June.  Glad to see you.  May was a doozy.  Quite the overload of birds.  In fact, almost a record.  2012 was the “year of the red-shouldered hawk” and we admitted 151 patients that May, but this was a close second. 139 injured and/or orphaned raptors walked through our doors.  75 of those birds were transferred from other organizations but 64 came from the greater Charlotte area. In other news, as of today we have reached 150 “orphans” for the year.  Here is a breakdown by species: 55 Barred owls, 49 Red-shouldered hawks, 16 Great horned owls, 10 red-tailed hawks, 7 Eastern screech owls, 6 barn owls, 5 black vultures, 1 American kestrel, and 1 Bald eagle.  58 was transferred from other organizations.  At least 30 have been recorded as re-nested, but there were many more “casual” re-nestings.  Go Team. Once again.  Hello, June.  Glad to see you.

Posted: 29 May 2016 01:24 PM PDT As the previous blog entry stated, we do everything we can to leave the babies at their natal site, even if they fall from the nest.  The parents typically still care for them even if they are on the ground.  We aren’t always able to get them back into the nest, but if they are old enough we work to get them off the ground so that they are safe from predators.  Unfortunately, not all of the babies admitted are healthy.  In fact, many come in suffering from injuries. Some caused by falling from the nest.  Some caused by being attacked by predators or siblings.  There are many reasons they are injured and they can’t tell us their story, but nature is a rough place.   Patientk from Cornelius, NC, arrived at CRC about 10 days ago.  After talking to the finder and getting some great footage of the bird (thank you, Pam!), we concluded that the situation was not normal and the bird needed medical help.  We found that she had a right femur fracture that was already partially healed.  {Young raptors heal much faster than adults, so it is common for their fractures to be well on their way to healing once they get to us.}  Even though we could not repair the femur fracture (and it needed it because it was not well aligned), this bird seems to be doing well.  The right leg is a little shorter than the left but she is perching well and able to fully use the leg.  This bird is alive and well thanks to compassionate people, like Pam, that go above and beyond to get them the attention that they need.  Thank you!
