10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 21, 2016

At that point I didn’t know about 10,000 Birds; I had been a wildlife rehabilitator and mother for years, with no time to surf the net for amazing birding sites. I was used to photos shared by rehabbers – gory wounds, wince-inducing x-rays, fledglings with terrible feathering thanks to uninformed “rescuers.”

This blog was written by Marge Gibson, founder of the Raptor Education Group, Inc. Even as a veteran wildlife rehabilitator, I could scarcely believe the sight before me.

This guest blog was written by Mikal Deese, Wildlife Educator, Rehabilitator, and founder of On A Wing And A Prayer in Corrales, New Mexico. Luckily, she had no broken bones, but she did have a large open wound on her right wing. Over the next months, it healed very well. She could fly, but was impaired.

“It is next to impossible to persuade people in India to donate money for injured raptors,” says Nadeem Shehzad, co-founder of Wildlife Rescue , a registered non-profit in the Chawri Bazar area of Old Delhi. When Nadeem and Mohammed first began in 2003, few veterinarians would suture the wounds of birds, saying they were too small.

From the time he can remember, every camping, hiking, or simple trip outside was focused on finding wildlife with herps, mammals, birds and native fish as his primary interests. After the castle we wound our way through the Black Forest where we were able to watch a pair of Eurasian Three-toed Woodpeckers foraged a few feet in front of us.
