Little was known about oiled bird care at that time and despite the courageous attempts of hundreds of volunteers, only 300 birds survived from the 7,000 collected. This 12,000 square-foot facility, completed in February 2001, is one of the two primary oiled bird facilities built by the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) in California.

With fall migration well underway everywhere, it’s a good time to see what’s flying in bird news. Prothonotary Warblers (like the dapper bird above captured for posterity by Corey) should carry frequent-flier cards—a recent Audubon-led study found that one geolocator-toting individual racked up more than 5,000 miles in eight months.

Owls are among the birds with the greatest power to fascinate non-birders, for good and ill. Young Scott put in yeoman’s work first identifying, then attempting to photograph the birds he stumbled across while hunting rabbits with a friend, and apparently his drive has stayed with him from that day to this. I don’t know.

It is not bird bloggers but birds that Suzie Gilbert spends her time rehabilitating. Despite the fact that some of us could use a twelve-step program to kick this birding addiction, Suzie, our newest beat writer here on 10,000 Birds, will not be treating us. Why go birding when you can just stroll through the house?

It’s a common call/email/text that most bird watchers get this time of year: “HELP! I just saved a baby bird! Both of those sites allow you to enter your zip code or state and find someone nearby who has the state and federal permits that allows them to treat wild birds. Do not worry about touching the baby birds.

If you’ve had an encounter with a wild animal – a bird stunned by hitting a window, a fox hit by a car, or a family of raccoons unexpectedly found residing in your attic – you know how hard it can be to find help. Bird rehabbers receive calls for injured turtles; veterinarians are contacted about skunks in basements.

It’s a beautiful day, you’re out birding, and you come across a bird who, instead of perching 20 feet over your head or winging its way past your face, is standing on the ground with its wing askew, wearing a dismayed expression. The building is an indoor riding ring, and the bird is an American Kestrel. What do you do?

If a blustery, snowy afternoon isn’t custom-made for catching up on bird news, then I don’t know what is. Better to get current on what’s happening with the rest of the bird world. Some birds who probably could have used those sweaters in southern California were the victim of a mystery spill. Sorry, couldn’t resist.).

She gave him subcutaneous fluids, warmed him up, and when he was feeling a bit better, figured she could clean him with Dawn dishwashing liquid, the rehabber’s tried and true method of getting oily stuff off birds. The cream contains polysorbate 60, which usually dissolves sticky gunk from bird feathers. I’m not making this up.

The sharp strings are a menace to passing birds – especially kites and other raptors – who cannot see them and sometimes suffer grievous, if not fatal, wounds. The first injured bird Nadeem and Mohammad ever found was a Black Kite.

Upon arrival, I was surprised to see that the bird had a single, very long (perhaps 14”) tail feather – definitely not a tern.

Not all injured birds end up winging their way back home again, which is the sad but true part of wild bird rehabilitating. Luckily Grace happened upon the scene, and like an avenging angel, broke up the circle, rescued the stunned bird, and called her mother. Such was the case with Russell A.

While we’re used to declarations that our pet parrots “love” us just as we love them, and they can be quite demonstrative in showing their affection, the evidence is thinner for wild birds. Did Vanna love his cage partner?

Yes, it was one of those rare birds that is foraging right in front of you, in this case in a bed of small purple flowers, too close to photograph. Then, for no discernible reason, the bird flew! Peering over the fence, next to the ‘don’t climb the rocks’ sign, I observed the bird bathing in a small stream of water and left him there.
