2005, Bird Rescue, Killing and Species

A Tale of Three Magnificent Frigatebirds (Two I help, one tries to kill me)

10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 11, 2015

Today’s post is written by Monte Merrick, wildlife rehabilitator and co-director of the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/bird ally x in Arcata, CA. The species name is long enough to be the middle line of a formal English haiku. We went from one disastrous spill to another, searching for oiled birds, but mostly documenting the dead.

The Nature Center worker brought down pliers and Eric gave the bird to Lisa to hold as he examined the situation. One of them had to be injured, possibly killed. It didn’t take long to come up with an answer, especially as the bird was not very happy and the mussel didn’t articulate an opinion. Condor 29: 259–270.
